Hello,

I am writing to express my views on the proposed amendment to supervisory requirements to include licensed clinical social workers. 

I oppose this proposed amendment. Only professional counselors should supervise residents-in-counseling because this is critical to protecting the unique identity of the counseling profession. For the same reason, neither Boards of Psychology or Social Work permit LPCs to supervise future psychologists or social workers. Likewise, experienced members of the counseling profession should supervise residents. 

Sincerely,

Emily Chew
