I am strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the qualifications for supervisors of residents in counseling. Increasing requirements to 5 years post licensure would result in fewer qualified supervisors making it harder for prospective residents to get supervision. Secondly, this proposal doesn’t specify that the increase to 5 years include clinical practice, so the concern may not even be changed with the proposed additional time. Lastly, supervisors should not supervise outside her/his areas of expertise and this is what should be stressed and monitored to address the presented concern.
