I had the opportunity to work with Eddy Gana, LCSW, in their role as an independent contractor providing clinical supervision for my team. Eddy brought a calm, grounded presence to supervision and created a supportive space for reflection, clinical growth, and thoughtful discussion. Their insight and steady facilitation style were especially valuable in helping our team navigate complex cases with care and intention. I would recommend Eddy to anyone seeking a reliable and affirming clinical supervisor.

In remembering my first group supervision with Eddy I was greeted with kindness, calmness, compassion, and knowledge. Eddy has helped me as a supervisee to speak my truth, while helping me constructively learn about my craft as a therapist. Moreover, Eddy through supervision has provided me with resources not only for my clients, but resources that have helped me grow individually. In doing this, I have been able to grow as not only as a clinician, but as a person.

During my time working with Eddy M. Gana, LCSW, I had the privilege of experiencing both group and individual supervision under their guidance. Eddy creates a thoughtful, collaborative space where clinicians feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. In group supervision, Eddy skillfully facilitated meaningful discussions, allowing each member to contribute while ensuring the space remained safe, inclusive, and clinically enriching. In our 1:1 supervision, I appreciated Eddy’s ability to balance warmth with direct feedback, always grounding our conversations in clinical insight and professional development. What was especially impactful for me was the opportunity to build community with another clinician who is queer and BIPOC. Eddy’s presence and perspective not only offered guidance but also affirmed the value of our shared identities in this field, creating a unique sense of belonging and understanding that is often difficult to find. Eddy’s supervision helped me deepen my clinical skills, strengthen my confidence, and feel affirmed in my work with clients. I am grateful for the guidance and encouragement I received, and I highly recommend Eddy as a supervisor for any clinician seeking both professional growth and authentic support.

Eddy was my first internship supervisor during my Master of Social Work program at SIPA (Search to Involve Pilipino Americans) back in 2021, when I served as an In-Home Outreach Counselor. As a supervisor, Eddy was incredibly patient, kind, and always open to conversation. They took the time to answer my questions thoughtfully and shared a wealth of knowledge and resources that strengthened my skills and professional development. The work we did together was both challenging and rewarding, and having their guidance made all the difference. To this day, I still apply many of the lessons I learned from them in my current practice. Since completing my internship, Eddy and I have kept in touch and are now colleagues. As peers in the field, we continue to connect over our shared passion for social work and community impact. Eddy is reliable, knowledgeable, and always willing to offer guidance and support as I navigate the early stages of my career. I wholeheartedly recommend Eddy for their expertise, commitment to their community, and dedication to mentoring and uplifting others in the profession.
