QMHP hours to count toward my LPC licensure
 

Good morning,

I am a QMHP (T) who has been finishing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduate this weekend, and I was disappointed to learn that the hours of overage in my internship won't count toward my 3400 hours toward full licensure. If the QMHP hours could be credited, it would be very helpful in moving me towards licensure in Virginia. I would be grateful for this opportunity. As a QMHP working with Medicaid clients, I have encountered a variety of diagnoses and have learned a great deal from my supervisors and my hands-on work with clients. NCG has been a very good site for both my QMHP and my internship. Thank you for considering this provision for using QMHP hours toward my LPC licensure.
