If you would like to combine individual and group supervision hours, contact Carolyn Fitzgerald, AEDP Certification Coordinator, at carolyn.f@aedpinstitute.org 

If a Faculty Member or other Certified Supervisor is present during supervision by a Supervisor in Training, the hours count towards AEDP Certification. Otherwise, the hours do not count towards certification until and unless the Supervisor in Training becomes certified, at which time the supervision hours are retroactively counted.

To explore exceptions to the above AEDP Level requirements and for therapists who work in agency settings or other settings where video is prohibited, contact Carolyn.f@aedpinstitute.org
