Supervision for LPCs and MFTs
 

it is completely ridiculous that licensed psychologists and psychiatrists and clinical social workers cannot provide clinical supervision to LPCs and MFTs.  completely and totally ridiculous.  there are not nearly enough LPCs and MFTs with supervisory experience and training to meet the demand for supervision for trainees as things stand today.  furthermore, this is insufficient notice for the appropriate organizations to provide comment on this matter.  counseling is counseling and LPCs and MFTs do not have exclusive ownership of this activity.
