The purpose of this study was to explore how creativity and intuition were activated and encouraged by counseling supervisors within the clinical supervisory relationship with supervisees. Past research in this area was limited in scope, and suggestions for future research included uncovering what worked to encourage creativity and intuition for counselors within supervisory relationships to aid clinical supervisors, counselors, and potentially clients and counseling training programs (Carson & Becker, 2004; Faiver, McNally, & Nims, 2000; Jeffrey, 2012; Jeffrey & Stone Fish, 2011; Koltz, 2008; Kottler & Hecker, 2002; Lawrence, Foster, & Tieso, 2015). Constructivist grounded theory methodology was used for this study, and a purposeful sample of participants was selected via the use of Q-Methodology procedures, specifically, by using Q-sorts and Q-interviews to narrow down participants to those who used creativity and intuition in their clinical supervision practices. Twenty-nine participants (Ohio-licensed and endorsed clinical counseling supervisors) completed Stage 1 (the Q-procedures) of this study. Three factors (Factor Ci, Factor CI, and Factor ci) arose from Stage 1 (n = 20). Participants from Factor Ci (n = 12) and Factor CI (n = 2) were asked to continued with the study and 11 did so. The grounded theory that emerged was the supervisory interaction vortex, which stemmed from a strong supervisory alliance and relationship. This theory was developed into a new clinical supervision model, the Creativity and Intuition Supervision Model (CISM), and expanded upon existing literature about the use of creativity and intuition within supervisory relationships.
