»»» NC LPC (LPCA) Rules Change October 1, 2009 «««
Current LPC supervisors will need at least 15 NBCC approved credit hours in supervision by 12/31/2010 and new supervisors seeking approval through the LPC board will need 45 NBCC approved credit hours in supervision continuing education before they are approved. MAHEC is here to help - see the LPCA Tab below.

Here are more     details on the requirements for NC LPC supervisors.
Currently a NCLPC Board Qualified Clinical Supervisor requires the supervisor to be
    "A licensed professional counselor or equivalently licensed and experienced mental health professional with
  • At least a master's degree and who has an active and unrestricted license,
  • PLUS the equivalent of three semester graduate credits in clinical supervision from a regionally accredited institution of higher education as documented by an official transcript or 45 contact hours of continuing education as defined by Rule .0603(c) in this Chapter, in clinical supervision
  • A minimum of five years of post-graduate counseling experience with a minimum of two years post licensure experience,
  • or other equivalently licensed and experienced mental health professional who also have met the supervision training requirements described above."

That means supervisors who are new to the NCLPC board need the 45 hours of supervision specific continuing education before they are able to supervise LPCAs (provisional LPCs).

(c) Supervisors who received Board approval to provide clinical supervision for any applicant prior to October 1, 2009 have until the following deadlines to complete the educational requirements listed:
  1. December 31, 2010 to acquire the equivalent of one semester graduate credit in clinical supervision from a regionally accredited institution of higher education as documented by an official transcript or 15 contact hours of continuing education, as defined by Rule .0603(c) in this Chapter, in clinical supervision;
  2. December 31, 2011 to acquire the equivalent of two semester graduate credits in clinical supervision from a regionally accredited institution of higher education as documented by an official transcript or 30 contact hours of continuing education, as defined by Rule .0603(c) in this Chapter, in clinical supervision; and
  3. December 31, 2012 to acquire the equivalent of three semester graduate credits in clinical supervision from a regionally accredited institution of higher education as documented by an official transcript or 45 contact hours of continuing education, as defined by Rule .0603(c) in this Chapter, in clinical supervision.
