Professional school counselors (PSCs) at higher levels of psychological development negotiate complex situations and perform counselor‐related tasks with empathy, flexibility, tolerance for ambiguity, boundary setting, personal and interpersonal awareness, and self‐care more effectively than do individuals at lower levels of development. This article introduces an integrative clinical supervision model designed to promote the psychological growth (ego maturity) of PSCs‐in‐training; presents practical components of the model; and discusses implications for PSC educators, supervisors, and researchers.
