Mentorship Circle

Be mentored by the people whose work shaped this field.


Mentorship Circle is a monthly case supervision and mentorship program led by the leading voices in this field — for therapists, coaches, and somatic practitioners committed to the long work of mastery.

You didn't get into this work to stay on the surface. You got into this work to make the impact you were meant for.

The work of becoming a great practitioner doesn't happen in the trainings. It happens in the years after — in the cases that stretch you, the moments you doubt yourself, the slow accumulation of clinical intuition that only forms when someone more experienced is in the room with you.

This is what supervision and mentorship offer that nothing else does. Not more information. Not another framework. The slow, relational shaping of who you become as a practitioner — over time, in the company of people who are inspired to support you in making the impact in the world you were meant for.

We already know healing happens in relationship. So does our own development as practitioners. So does the becoming of the practitioner you came here to be.

Mentorship Circle Membership

What you receive as a mentorship member.

  1. Monthly 90-Minute Live Case Supervision

    Each month, a structured 90-minute supervision session led by Dr. Scott Lyons with rotating guest faculty including Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, and Kai Cheng Thom. Members may submit cases through a private form opening one week before each session. Practitioners selected for live consultation are notified 24 hours in advance. Even when your case isn't selected, the conversation will sharpen you — because someone else's hardest moment is often the mirror your own work needed.

  2. Quarterly Mentorship Conversation

     Four times a year, an open hour with the faculty — not for case work, but for the mentorship itself. Come with the questions that don't fit anywhere else: the arc of your practice, how to sustain this work over decades, the professional decisions ahead of you, the questions you've been carrying with no one to ask. A room small enough to actually connect with the people mentoring you.

  3. Listing in The Embody Lab Practitioner Directory

    A public listing in our official directory with the formal designation that you are an actively mentored practitioner of The Embody Lab faculty. A meaningful credibility marker — visible to clients, colleagues, and referral partners — that reflects the depth of your ongoing professional development. *This feature is anticipated to be available by late June 2026.

  4. A Recorded Somatic Therapy Session with Dr. Scott Lyons

    A full somatic therapy session captured for study — pacing, attunement, intervention, repair, the felt sense of a session in motion. Watch the work being done at the level of nuance you cannot get from any textbook or lecture. A reference you will return to.

  5. Three-Month Access to Session Recordings

    Each supervision is recorded and available on replay for three months — so you can return to the moments that mattered, take the conversation back into your own practice, and integrate at the pace your nervous system allows.

The Process

How the live supervision works.

A structured, respectful process for bringing your real work into the room.

  1. 1

    Case submission opens one week before each live session.

    Members submit cases through a private form with clinical context, what you're working with, and what you'd like supervision on.

  2. 2

    Selected cases are confirmed 24 hours before the live session.

    Selection ensures faculty can prepare and that the session can hold the case with appropriate depth.

  3. 3

    The 90-minute live session is led by this month's faculty.

    Selected practitioners present briefly; faculty offer considered, trauma-informed supervision; peers contribute reflection where useful.

  4. 4

    All client identifying information is protected

    Submissions follow standard de-identification practices to ensure ethical handling of the people you serve.

  5. 5

    Every session is recorded and available for three months

    - so the learning continues well past the live hour.

Who this is for

This is built for you if you are a therapist, clinician, somatic practitioner, coach, healer, or helping professional doing real work with real people — and ready for a serious professional home.

You may be

  • A graduate of an Embody Lab certification who isn't ready for the conversation to end.
  • A licensed clinician integrating somatic and trauma-informed work into a traditional practice.
  • A somatic coach or practitioner who wants the clinical depth and mentorship traditional coaching spaces rarely offer.
  • A seasoned practitioner who has the credentials and the caseload, and now wants the peers and the supervision to match.
  • A newer practitioner who knows that mentorship — not more content — is what will actually shape you into the practitioner you want to become.

This is not for you if

  • You're looking for a content vault to binge and forget.
  • You want guarantees, formulas, or a certificate at the end of 30 days.
  • You're not actively seeing clients or building toward it.
  • You're looking for spiritual bypass dressed up as professional development.

We're going to do real work here.

Frequently asked

Questions you might be holding.

  • What are the dates and times of the supervision sessions?

    Tuesday, June 23 - 12pm to 1:30pmET (Faculty: Dr. Scott Lyons)

    Tuesday, July 28 - 12pm to 1:30pmET
    Tuesday, August 25 - 12pm to 1:30pmET

    More dates and times to be announced. Dates and times subject to change. We will announce faculty at the beginning of each month.

  • Will every faculty member be available in every session?

    Each month features a different faculty member — sometimes two. We announce the lineup ahead of time.

  • What if it isn't right for me?

    You can cancel your membership at any time. We'd rather have members who actively choose this each month than members who feel obligated. The work is too important for either of us to be in it half-heartedly. Note, this membership is not eligible for any refunds.

  • Are sessions confidential?

    Yes. Case submissions follow standard de-identification practice. Live sessions are held with the same ethical care any clinical consultation requires. Recordings are accessible only to active members and only for the three-month window.

  • I'm not sure I'm "advanced" enough.

    You don't need to be advanced. You need to be serious. We hold a range of experience levels intentionally, because seasoned and newer practitioners sharpen each other in ways homogeneous groups never can. If you are doing the work and care about doing it well, you belong here.

  • How is this different from local supervision?

    Local supervision is essential, and this does not replace it. What this offers is the layer most local supervision cannot: senior faculty operating at the leading edge of somatic and trauma-informed work, considered consultation with clinicians whose books are on your shelf, and a peer group whose questions will sharpen yours.

  • What if my case doesn't get selected?

    Selection ensures faculty can hold each case with the depth it deserves. But the value is not contingent on being selected. Watching faculty work with another practitioner's case — and seeing the layers of nuance, attunement, and clinical reasoning — is often where the deepest learning happens. The 90-minute session shapes how you sit with every case you bring into the room that week.

  • I already have so many trainings I haven't fully integrated.

    That's exactly why this exists. This is not another training. It is the integration layer — the place where the trainings you've already done finally land in your body, your cases, and your practice. Most members tell us this is the first professional space where they stopped accumulating and started embodying.
