We are proud to recognize Becca Bowman as a nominee for the 2026 Marion Lindblad-Goldberg (MLG) Award in the Supervisor category. Becca’s leadership reflects a deep and sustained commitment to the five core values that define this award.
Maintains a Systemic Perspective
Becca consistently approaches supervision through a systemic lens. She helps clinicians hold awareness of the whole ecosystem—family dynamics, organizational context, and their own developmental edge—while thoughtfully addressing the parts. Her supervision moves beyond isolated interventions and instead works to fosters second-order change across systems.
Balances Professional Boundaries with Collaborative Relationships
Becca creates a supervisory environment where clinicians feel visible, valued, and worthy. At the same time, she maintains clear professional boundaries that promote accountability and growth. Her leadership reflects a powerful balance—supportive yet challenging, collaborative yet grounded in expertise. This balance strengthens competence and builds professional confidence.
Engages in Social Ecology
Becca models deliberate authenticity in her leadership. She demonstrates awareness of how identity, context, and lived experience shape both clinicians and families. By encouraging reflection and self-awareness, she fosters growth that is relational, contextual, and grounded in the realities of the systems in which clinicians operate.
Makes the Most of Intensity and Crises
Rather than retreating from difficult moments, Becca uses them as opportunities for development. She helps clinicians recognize their capacity in high-intensity situations and guides them in responding with intentionality rather than reactivity. Her steady presence during challenge reinforces the belief that growth is often forged in complexity.
Assesses with Complexity While Acting with Simplicity
Becca’s understanding of people and systems is nuanced and genuine. Yet those she supervises experience her communication as clear, grounded, and accessible. She translates complexity into actionable guidance, helping clinicians feel capable and focused rather than overwhelmed.
Through her commitment to these five values, Becca Bowman fosters confidence, competence, and professional growth within her team. Her leadership strengthens clinicians, enhances systems, and ultimately supports better outcomes for families.
We are honored to celebrate Becca as a 2026 MLG Award nominee and grateful for the intentional, authentic supervision she provides every day.
