The Besties Podcast

Supervision after supervision.

Honest, useful conversations for counselors who want to care for clients well, grow into their own clinical voice, and feel a little less alone while doing it.

Meet Rikki + Ashley

The conversations we always want after the meeting ends.

Between us, our weeks include counseling clients, supervising developing clinicians, and teaching future counselors. So the questions we bring to the microphone are rarely theoretical. They come from real sessions, real supervision conversations, and the very real work of becoming a counselor without losing yourself in the process.

Rikki Permenter

Counselor · supervisor · educator

Rikki brings a practical, organized lens to clinical work—and a soft spot for helping counselors turn “I learned this in school” into “I know what to do next.”

Ashley Jamison

Counselor · supervisor · educator

Ashley keeps the conversation thoughtful, candid, and connected to what counselors and supervisees actually face in the room.

Grab a coffee. You can sit with us. Come to our supervision after supervision. This is the supervision with your counselor besties that you want to come to.

You can find us on Spotify, Tunein, or your fav podcast server.
