When beginning the process toward licensure, my first supervisor told me completing the paperwork to get licensed was half the battle. The licensure process was daunting. Changes have been made to make the process easier and more obtainable. I support this petition for rulemaking. It makes sense that hours completed while working in the role of a professional counselor, under the supervision of a LPC would count toward the required 2,000 hours of face-to-face client contact.
