Clinical supervision is a critical process used to foster the development of professional competencies among counselors in training (CITs) in the counseling profession. Despite the significance of clinical supervision, CITs often report nondisclosure; that is, an unwillingness to share certain information regarding their work with a client for fear of negative evaluation from their supervisor. To address this barrier, the authors of this article propose a model integrating mindfulness and free association for use in group supervision. The goal is to foster and enhance CITs self-disclosure in supervision, to increase mindful awareness, openness to feedback, and ultimately to foster multicultural competence. Implications for using this model in group supervision with CITs are discussed.
