About our Practicum
At Work in Progress we are committed to ongoing teaching, learning and unlearning. As part of this commitment we accept between 2-4 students in 8 month intervals. We are an approved site by UofT, OISE and Yorkville Universities and meet all CRPO requirements for supervision. Our qualified supervisors support students with weekly 1:1 supervision, conducted either virtually or in-person depending on alignment of schedules. Students are not only welcome but encouraged to participate in team building by joining WIP wide peer supervisions (3 a month), supporting one another's growth, resource sharing, and consulting with other therapists on the team.
Meet the Supervisors
Our supervisors are passionate and experienced clinicians...
Rebecca B-W
MA, RP, CCC
Rebecca, owner and clinic director of Work in Progress believes that trust and openness are key to a strong supervisory relationship, one that breaks down hierarchies and creates space to talk about the toughest parts of therapy. These candid conversations are what make therapy meaningful for both the practitioner and the client.
Supervisees can expect a supportive, creative environment where feedback is candid, nurturing, and supports growth. Rebecca’s passion for therapy shines through as she loves exploring strategies to help students develop their skills and authenticity. She draws from approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and Cognitive and Mindfulness-Based practices to guide supervisees in building their unique clinical style and confidence.
Yordanka G.
MA, RP, CCC
Yordanka creates a supportive and reflective space for new students, recognizing the challenges of beginning a clinical journey. With a trauma-informed and compassionate approach, she helps students explore their personal values, biases, and past experiences to better understand how they influence their therapeutic practice.
Yordanka draws from a variety of modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory, among others. This diverse toolkit allows her to guide students in developing their unique therapeutic style while promoting self-awareness, clinical growth, and confidence.
Through collaborative supervision, the focus is on challenging internalized beliefs and building meaningful, authentic connections with clients.
Fumi M.
MA, RP
Fumi takes a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and collaborative approach to supervision. Passionate about supporting new students on their professional journey, she aims to foster a safe, reflective, and growth-oriented environment. Fumi knows the importance of creating space for students to explore their therapeutic style, deepen their clinical skills, and navigate challenges with confidence.
Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment-Focused Therapy, Brainspotting, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Fumi tailors supervision to meet the unique needs of each supervisee.
