Mentoring & Coaching

A structured path toward clinical mastery through feedback, coaching, and deliberate practice.

Experience Alone Does Not Create Excellence

Many clinicians work hard, care deeply, and manage complex caseloads, yet still feel stuck. Experience is valuable, but it does not automatically lead to better clinical outcomes.

Dr. Michael McGee’s mentoring and coaching model is designed to produce measurable improvement in clinical skills and patient outcomes. Clinicians learn to recognize their strengths, identify opportunities for growth, and continuously refine their work through structured feedback.

The Cycle of Excellence

Baseline → Feedback → Deliberate Practice → Refinement → Mastery

The process begins by identifying current strengths and growth areas. Clinicians then receive specific, practical feedback and deliberately practice a small number of high-impact skills. Through continued observation, correction, rehearsal, and application, meaningful improvements become sustainable.

The program can help strengthen:

  • Therapeutic alliance and rupture repair
  • Clinical responsiveness and judgment
  • Interpersonal skills
  • Patient engagement and retention
  • Collaborative formulation and care planning
  • Professional vitality and confidence

Personalized Mentoring Options

When appropriate and completed with proper consent, mentoring may include reviewing recorded clinical sessions. This allows coaching to focus on real interactions rather than relying only on case summaries.

Programs can be structured for:

  • Individual clinicians
  • Small groups or cohorts
  • Supervisors and clinical leaders
  • Organizations building systems for clinical excellence

Sessions are available remotely or in person when feasible and may be arranged as short-term or ongoing programs.
