When we need help holding others
Consultation & Supervision for Therapists in San Francisco & Online
Therapists need spaces of reflection as much as our clients do. The work of psychotherapy can be demanding, enlivening, and at times depleting. Supervision and consultation offer a place to think deeply about clinical life — not just what to do, but what is happening, what we might be missing, and what the work is asking of us.
At Amphora Psychotherapy, Jonathan Moss, MFT, provides clinical supervision and consultation for early-career therapists, licensed clinicians, and those seeking ongoing professional development. His work is grounded in a relational psychoanalytic perspective, with particular attention to unconscious process, countertransference, and the therapeutic relationship.
Why Supervision & Consultation Matter
Even the most experienced therapist benefits from another mind in the room. Consultation provides:
Fresh perspective on challenging cases and clinical dynamics
Psychoanalytic reflection beyond technique, focusing on meaning and process
Support in working with countertransference and the emotional demands of clinical work
A space to sustain curiosity, humility, and vitality over time
Rather than offering answers or prescriptions, this work supports deeper thinking and ethical responsiveness.

Supervision for Pre-Licensed Therapists
For AMFTs, APCCs, and ACSWs working toward licensure, Jonathan offers supervision that is both rigorous and supportive. The focus is on developing:
A coherent and grounded clinical identity
Confidence in psychodynamic psychotherapy
Reflective capacity — the ability to tolerate uncertainty, complexity, and not-knowing
Ethical judgment and professional responsibility
Supervision is oriented toward helping emerging clinicians think independently while remaining deeply attuned to their clients and to themselves.
Consultation for Licensed Therapists
Licensed clinicians seek consultation for many reasons: to work through a stuck case, to explore their own growth edges, or to stay connected to a community of psychoanalytic thinking.
Jonathan offers:
Individual consultation for focused, in-depth clinical reflection
Ongoing consultation groups for therapists seeking shared inquiry and collegial dialogue
This work may be especially meaningful for therapists who value depth and sustained engagement with their clinical life.
