I am an L.C.S.W. My son is an LPC. I have watched and mentored him through his graduate program, supervision, and studying for the LPC exam. I am intimately familiar with what is required to become eligible to take the LPC exam. I have hosted grad students in various programs working towards earning a degree that would enable them to pursue the LPC credential. There are at least 3 grad degrees that can lead to the LPC as opposed to one MSW degree for the LCSW. At one time I could provide at least a year of supervision for those seeking the LPC. I am opposed to the petition unless the Board of Counseling approves LCSWs to provide supervision to those seeking the LPC credential. I take offense to the Board of Counseling excluding LCSWs from providing supervision to those seeking the LPC credential as I take offense to the petition that seeks to allow LPCs to provide supervision to those with an MSW. I intend to submit my own petition asking that LCSWs be allowed to provide supervision towards those seeking the LPC credential.
