Adapting the Model, Not the Client: Supervision, Style, and Voice with Liliana Baylon – Part 2

In Part 2 of his conversation with therapist and educator Liliana Baylon, Travis Heath goes deeper into what cultural humility looks like in real clinical moments. They talk about unlearning as a playful, accountability-driven practice; how and when self-disclosure can support client safety; and why not getting ahead of the client matters when facilitating acculturation groups with youth. Liliana shares how she works across English, Spanish, and Spanglish, why language justice is central to healing, and how she navigates religious intersections without centering her own agenda. They also explore adapting therapy models to fit clients and contexts, supporting supervisees to find their own voice, attending to countertransference when identities are shared, and the everyday faces of activism in clinical work. They close with what’s giving them hope right now.
