Resource Share | Pathways Toward Licensure
We’d love for you to join us for our next Resource Share, a Shelterwood Collective series offering practical tools and seasoned perspective to support practitioner development.
This offering is designed specifically for associate-level clinicians (LMHCA, LMFTA, LICSWA) who are moving toward full licensure.
Too often, the licensure season becomes something to “get through.” Hours are counted. Forms are signed. Supervision becomes a requirement to satisfy.
What if this chapter of your professional life could instead be a season of deepening, mentorship, and intentional formation?
Co-facilitated by Nicole Greenwald and Solomon Chan, this hour will be part interview, part Q+A, and part collegial conversation. Together, we’ll explore the licensure journey as both a practical process and a meaningful developmental arc.
In this conversation, we’ll explore:
Creative and strategic ways to think about completing your hours
How to diversify your clinical experience while staying grounded
The differences between individual, dyadic, and group supervision — and how to use each well
How to receive supervision as mentorship rather than evaluation
Common pitfalls associates encounter — and how to navigate them with support
How this season can shape not just your credential, but your clinical identity
This workshop is for you if:
You’re an associate clinician wanting clarity and direction about the licensure process
You feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure how to make the most of your supervision
You want your hours to be formative — not just accumulative
You’re curious about group supervision and how it can expand your clinical thinking
Come with your questions. Come with your uncertainty. Come ready for a grounded, generative conversation about becoming.

Solomon Chan
Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor
(he/him)
Solomon is passionate about accompanying people in their journey toward understanding and living out their unique narratives. Solomon’s experience as a therapist working in nonprofits, psychiatric hospitals, academic settings, and community outreach agencies has deepened his integrative, psychodynamic approach to counseling. Solomon invites and supports an exploration of the conscious (what we are aware of) and unconscious mind (what we are not aware of), how that dynamic shows up in one’s life, and how we may find relief for the journey.
He believes that we become who we are, form our identities, and live out our stories in the context of relationship. The nuances of our relationships reveal information about our core struggles; and the relationship that occurs in therapy is a way to live out, encounter, understand, and make changes. Just as we are formed in relationship, healing occurs in the context of relationship. Solomon views therapy as an invitation to explore and live out the unlived parts of our lives in order to more fully embrace a freer, fuller, and more integrated experience of work, play, and love.
Solomon has a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. His theories and modalities pull from: relational psychology, object relations, interpersonal dynamics, intercultural and cross-cultural counseling, attachment theories, and narrative therapy.
