I was on the Board of Counseling when we decided to remove LCSW from the list of supervisors.  The reason was that we were wanting to strengthen the professional identity of LPC's.  The Board of Social Work did not have LPC's supervising social work residents for the same reason.  When the LPC license started, social workers, nurses, etc were included on the list of supervisors because there were not enough LPC's to do the supervision, however, in the Commonwealth now there are several thousand LPC's.  Maybe there should effort to try to get more LPC's to supervise.  This was the same reason that the board was looking at the credentials of professors that were teaching students in the Master of Counseling programs.  The whole idea was to develop a distinct professional identity that is different from social worker and psychologists.   I am glad to see that the Board of Psychology is finally exploring having a master level license because this was a huge problem a decade ago, having MA in Psychology trying to become LPC's.  I was glad when the change was made 10 years ago to remove LCSW's from the list of supervisors and I think it should continue now.
