The narrative analysis described two moments: (a) the construction of the Master's program in Psychological Counseling and Mental Health and parallelly the beginning and evolution of supervision within the framework of the program and (b) the reflected contributions of the supervision team of female supervisors. Findings describe central themes of the lived experiences during the development of supervision in Guatemala, within the master's level program in Counseling Psychology and Mental Health.
