Maintain specialized supervision
 

As every branch of the Behavioral Sciences is specialized, it is vital that supervision of Residents who are seeking to obtain a Professional Counselor license, remain with Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisors during their residency.

While an LPC and LPSW may have things in common, they are distinctively different in methods as well as populations served. Please do not alter the current guidelines which require each profession to supervise and guide their own Residents. 

Respectfully,

Dr. Cynthia Doney
