ISPs by LMHPs
 

The proposed regulations which state that LMHP, LMHP-Supervisee, or LMHP-residents must complete, sign, and date ISPs does not make logical sense to provide effective MHSS to clients. There is already a shortage of licensed or licensed eligible individuals in many areas, therefore many agencies will not be able to fill these positions. Also, for a licensed eligible resident, these hours do not count toward licensure and therefore it would decrease or eliminate those individuals from applying for such positions.
