In the process of applying for the certicication of LPC, applicants are able to include 100 required supervision hours provided by licensed profesional counselors, marriage and family therapists, substance abuse treatment practitioners, school psychologists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, or psychiatrists. Art therapists as well as their training are competent to provide supervision to a LPC applicant. To be an art therapist, a person need to hold a master degree, be trained to work with a diverse population with professional knowledges in counseling and psychology, and practice therapy work under supervision. It is important for art therapists to have supervisors from the same field to provide advices and their own experiencs. This petition is also for the benefits of people who receive services, as it allows better quality of therapy work to take place. Please add art therapists to the list of professionals that provide supervision to LPC applicants!
