I am writing to you to express my views on the proposed amendment to requirements for supervisors to include licensed clinical social workers. As a member of CSI, the international honor society for professional counselors, I am dedicated to preserving the professional counselor identity of LPCs. I am currently in supervision for residency with an LPC, and having had my practicum and internship supervised by an LCSW, I strongly oppose this proposed amendment. Only professional counselors should supervise counselors-in-training because this is critical to protecting the unique identity of the counseling profession, including its unique teachings and theories. For the same reason, neither the Board of Psychology nor the Board of Social Work permits LPCs to supervise future psychologists or social workers. Likewise, I believe that future LPCs should be supervised by experienced members of their own profession.
