Master Supervision Practitioners

Moshe Manheim MSW, LCSW Traditionalist

Moshe has supervised Social Work students from 10 different university programs. His commitment to training includes not only supervision, but a long list of presentations to professionals, parents, and advocacy
organizations. He has worked in a wide variety of settings—a family service agency, a children’s hospi- tal, a high school, an outpatient psychiatric clinic, and currently practices at The Marcus Institute, a comprehensive assessment and treatment program dealing with the Autism spectrum. From his undergraduate education at Washington University in St. Louis, and his Master of Social Work degree at Virginia Commonwealth University, Moshe is an experienced creative, caring, mentoring professional supervisor.

LeNora Ashley M.Ed., M.D.
Pragmatist

From her undergraduate degree in music at the University of Miami,
Dr. Ashley began the first of her 3 careers as a Music Therapist on an inpatient children’s unit for seriously disturbed children. Then she returned to school, obtained a Masters in Education with Learning
Disability and Behavior Disorder Certification and was a class-room teacher with these same children. Her third career began with completion of Medical School, a Residency in Adult Psychiatry and a Fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. She currently is Associate Professor on the Faculty of Emory Medical School and has supervised residents and taught Social Work students for the past 10 years. Her background as a teacher enables her to pragmatically focus on what “gets the job done,” with straight talk to parents and kids alike. She is expert in the most difficult and complex cases, urging professionals to spend less time on theory and speculation and more time on useable approaches with parents and school personnel. She also enjoys working with individual women on issues throughout the life cycle.

Polly Hart LCSW, BCD
Eclectic

With an undergraduate in Religion & Philosophy, and an MSW from Tulane, Polly began her supervising career in 1972 with students from UGA, Smith College, and Atlanta University (Clark-Atlanta). Theoretically agnostic, she proceeded to take the study of human behavior as her avocation, studying any academic discipline which would help explain what she was seeing in her office. The study became life-long and at times it gives her a very different set of lenses from which to view the human condition. She attributes her inability to rely any one point of view to her wide interests and propensity for skepticism about “traditional” explanations. She has spent the majority of her career in a family psychiatry setting with teaching, training, and writing as other ways to work with beginning professionals.

About Friday Harbour

Friday Harbour (getting its name from a lovely small town in the San Juan Islands off the Pacific Coast near Seattle) is the site for the “Conversations” programs presented by Friday Harbour Associates. It sits in a wooded area on the shores of Lake Lanier and has a small cabin, a round “Tree House,” and a large screened porch.  We’ll be using all of these areas at various times.  It is important that everyone who comes be aware that the programs are housed in an indoor-outdoor venue.  Please check the weather because for brief periods we may be using the porch (nicely protected but the same temperature as the outdoors) come rain or come shine.

Some parking is provided on-site and others will park a bit down our country road (300 yards) and be shuttled to the site.

If you take a walk in the woods, you’ll find the woods here are like any other woods--full of roots to trip over and a few buzzing insects. Our road is gravel, and the shoreline is rocky. It seems somewhat unnecessary to point these things out, but most CEU programs are given in large commercial settings, and Friday Harbour is certainly not that.  On the other hand, it is not primitive, and you’ll be more comfortable with us than you ever have been in an auditorium with its auditorium seating.  So if you’d like to try us, you are most welcome.  And if you love the woods, the water, and being in the tree tops, you’ll be quite at home.
