I am writing to express my support for the petition, however, I do have some concerns. While I agree that having more options for supervision and differing counseling backgrounds from which to draw clinical guidance from is needed, my expectation is that there would be reciprocity between the board of social work with regard to their supervisor requirements as well. As an LPC, I think this is a generally positive step to expanding opportunities for our residents to gain experience, but i hope that it’s not at the expense of finding ways to encourage current LPC’s to become supervisors and strengthening our professional identity through a robust and engaged Board of Counseling.
