Add art therapists to supervise LPC hours
 

I endorse Jacqueline Biggs’ request to amend qualifications for supervisors of residents to include art therapists.   I am aware of the training that art therapists receive in their master’s degrees programs is of high quality, and follow standards that are aligned with those of Professional Counselors.  As an experienced clinician,  I have found that there is much similarly in the clinical issues faced by these mental health workers.  The Board should add art therapist to the list of professionals who can supervise the first 100 hours of LPC supervision.
