Noeticus Counseling Center and Training Institute®

DESCRIPTION: In many jurisdictions, the only legal requirement for providing clinical supervision is having an active mental health license. Although having a keen set of administrative and counseling skills is an essential aspect of clinical supervision, they are not enough on their own. Clinical supervision is a specialized area within the mental health professions that has its own distinct theories, practices, and models; therefore, high-quality clinical supervisors need to understand and apply these effectively. As more states recognize this necessity, the trend of establishing a two-tiered licensure system that first solely permits professional practice within one’s discipline and then only allows for the advanced practice of clinical supervision after additional requirements have been met is becoming more common.

The Colorado State Board of LPC Examiners moved in this direction in 2020, when they mandated that any LPC licensed by the board providing clinical supervision to LPC candidates needed to complete one of four possible training requirements: (1) complete a minimum of a two-credit-hour graduate course on clinical supervision from a CACREP accredited or equivalent program; (2) complete a minimum of six clock-hours of clinical supervision training in specified content areas; (3) attain Approved Clinical Supervisor™ (ACS) certification from the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE); or (4) attain a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from a CACREP accredited or equivalent program or other counseling doctorates that have a supervision component.

This course meets the second option by providing six clock-hours of clinical supervision training in the seven specified content areas, specifically: (a) the role and functions of clinical supervisors; (b) models and methods of clinical supervision; (c) supervisory relationship issues; (d) cultural issues and themes in clinical supervision; (e) group supervision; (f) legal and ethical issues in clinical supervision; and (g) evaluation of supervisee competency and the supervision process. Registration for this course is complimentary and open to all mental health practitioners.
