• Professional ethics and standard of practice

A minimum of 200 hours of supervisory sessions, occurring at a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 4 hours of supervision per 40 hours of work experience, during the period of

the residency. 100 hours of the 200 required hours must be obtained under board-approved supervision with a Licensed Professional Counselor. Up to 20 hours of the supervision received during the supervised internship may be counted toward the 200 hours of in-person supervision if the supervision was provided by a LPC. Group supervision hours are equivalent to individual supervision hours, however, only half of the 200 required hours may be obtained in group supervision.
