    This group would be great for:

    • BIPoC providers

    • People in Private/Group practice

    • Medical Social Workers

    Signing Up

    $100 per person per 2 hour meeting. Total cost is due up front, ($600 for 12 hours of supervision). Payment plans available. To sign up, please send an email to sima@peacefulsoulhealing.com with the subject: 2024 Group Supervision Group and tell Sima about what you are looking for with supervision.

    About Sima

    I am a Licensed Clinician Social Worker  (LICSW) in the state of Washington, and am an Approved Supervisor in WA State. 

    I have a passion for helping others live their best life. I’m involved in a number of community organizations. Through them, I have facilitated groups for developing mental health professionals, including graduate students, and new MSWs.

    I started my Social Work career as a Medical Social Worker. I now run a thriving group practice, Peaceful Soul Healing (https://peacefulsoulhealing.com/).  Prior to this, I started my professional life in Finance/Payroll, HR and IT, with my last position in that career being an HR Project Manager at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I decided to go back to school to pursue Mental Health and have never been happier. 

    I was born and raised in Canada to parents who immigrated from India. I moved to Seattle in my 20s. I understand the experience of having a different culture/social rules within my family system, and having to learn and navigate a completely different set of rules in North American Culture.

    With supervision, I believe in a collaborative relationship. Supervision includes case consultation, as well as professional development. For Group Supervision, I believe that all of us have insight that can help us all learn and grow as Social Worker. I ask that everyone comes prepared to discuss cases, or struggles with their Social Work identity.

    Executive functioning skills are all the mental processes involved in starting, doing and finishing tasks. Examples include task initiation, emotional regulation, organization, planning, prioritization and time management. Executive functioning skills are frequently impacted in adults with ADHD, leading to inefficiencies, ineffectiveness and procrastination on tasks. This in turn impacts their personal relationships and professional goals. The same challenges can also impact their ability to engage with and follow through in therapy for successful progress. She is the founder of Calm Seas ADHD Coaching.


    Executive functioning strategies that work for non-ADHD clients often are not effective (and can sometimes be detrimental) for ADHD clients. ADHD is also highly contextual and the same client can struggle in some contexts where their challenges are at the forefront while thriving in others where their strengths are more at play. Understanding the differences in the ADHD and non-ADHD brain wiring is critical to help you set your ADHD client up for success. It allows you to use structure, support and strategies that align well with their brain wiring.


    This presentation by Master Certified ADHD Coach, Vidya Guhan, will help you understand how key executive function skills present challenges for adults with ADHD, and how you can adjust your approach and ameliorate these gaps to empower your clients. The presentation will cover several aspects of executive functioning skills including

    1. Brain activation
    2. Emotional/ Self regulation
    3. Working Memory
    4. Time Management

    with a focus on understanding the difference between the ADHD and non ADHD brain wiring. This will help you be informed when working with adults with ADHD or couples with ADHD and non ADHD partners and empower you to use practical strategies to support clients with ADHD to be successful in therapy.


    Learning Goals

    • Understand the key differences between the ADHD and non-ADHD brain wiring with respect to the relationship between interest, importance and attention and develop strategies to bridge these differences.
    • Understand important factors contributing to emotional/self regulation challenges in adults with ADHD and understand the role that short frequent informal practices of mindfulness can play in reducing emotional dysregulation, improving inhibition and increasing self compassion.
    • Learn practical strategies to optimize structure and support to improve engagement, follow through and emotional well being when working with adults with ADHD or couples with an ADHD/ Non-ADHD partnership.
