I want to voice opposition to the Petition for Rulemaking #402 that request an “ Amendment to requirements for supervisors to include licensed professional counselors”  The Board of Social Work has made progress over the last 30 years to move toward the goal of LCSW’s who are Board Approved Supervisors being the sole providers of supervision for those seeking the LCSW license.  There are over 800 Board Approved Supervisors and a supervisee in social work may arrange for virtual supervision from any of those 800+ supervisors.   There no longer exist a claim of a lack of available supervisors based on geography.  Any supervisee can now find a LCSW Board Approved Supervisor so I am opposed to this petition.
