This legislation which seeks to restrict supervision of LPC and LMFT trainees to only licensed professional counselors would severely restrict the training opportunities available for mental health practitioners in the Commonwealth. Several other well-qualified disciplines, such as clinical psychology, have adequately supervised these trainees since the inception of the fields, and there is no documented emperical evidence to justify passing legislation that would prevent psychologists from supervising LPC and LMFT trainees. This legislation represents much more a "turf war" tactics than something that would be actually be beneficial to constituents with mental health issues in the Commonwealth.
