I am in agreement with Dr. Curry's petition. Both licensed individuals should be able to provide the required hours of supervision whether it is supervising someone who is working towards their LPC or LCSW. This should not be about semantics. This issue should be about providing knowledge and guidance to individuals that want to make a change in their community. There is a shortage of competent clinicians as it is, I have patients complaining that they have had to wait up to six months to be seen due to the shortage of providers in the area. Again, this topic shouldn't have to be about which license is more valuable or not. The goal is to help and if that allows providers of different backgrounds to become licensed in a timely manner so that they can then help the community should this really be an issue?
