I have provided group and individual supervision to Residents in Counseling in Virginia for twenty years.  Many hours have been spent with supervisees insuring that all the rules are adhered to, ethics met and paperwork appropriately completed. Completing the required hours is a strenuous, yet valuable process and I know supervisees learn and develop. Regulating a supervisees opportunity to market and solicit business seems to hinder growth, and serves little purpose, especially in this time of mental health need. Since it is a requirement that a supervisor's information is on all literature and marketing material, it is clear that there is not "independent" practice. Rather, the opportunity to solicit and market one's training and clinical skills, serves a purpose for the public and the Resident. Thank you.
