“My name is Louna Cajuste and I have been receiving clinical supervision, both individual and group, under Shamara for almost 3 years. I started in April 2022. Shamara, provided me with my first opportunity in the field and I am forever grateful. The experience has been rewarding despite challenges encountered. Shamara is very informative, and ensures you are prepared in everything clinical. She discusses step by step measures, possible outcomes, ethical conflict to avoid, positive habits, client retention and barriers to overcome. Walking away with a fresh perspective and a different way of viewing a client’s presenting problems will be what Shamara always provides. She will also hold you accountable, promote growth and supply you with effective strategies to assist a client in a difficult situation or ways to continue to reinforce what is already working. Shamara always encourages self-care not only for a client but for me, which is essential in being in a helping role and brings the team together as much as possible to support in that. Supervision with and through Shamara facilitates increased understanding, beneficial engagement and guidance and helps support passion within the field of clinical practice.”

“Receiving supervision under Shamara Gibson has been a fantastic learning experience. I have gained a wealth of clinical knowledge that has supported my development intellectually as well as in my pursuit towards licensure as an LCSW. I recently passed the Florida Clinical level exam needed to obtain licensure and I could not have done it without the support of Shamara and the team at Mara’s lighthouse. Supervision both one on one and with peers has helped me tremendously grow as a professional. Shamara encourages all of her clinicians to grow and develop their special areas of interest and obtain more professional development opportunities to sharpen your skill set as a clinician. Shamara is flexible, knowledgeable and has been pivotal in the development of my clinical skills.”
