    Aug 23 2024

    Ever wondered if your supervisor training is truly yours to keep, or if your employer has more control than you think? Join us, Dr. Kate Walker, as we unravel the complexities and boundaries of LPC and LMFT supervisor training in Texas. This episode promises to equip you with best practices for navigating the murky waters of employer-funded training.

You'll gain insights into the importance of renewing your designation and meeting continuing education requirements, ensuring you stay ahead in your professional journey.

    Securing supervision for LPC licensure can feel like a never-ending catch-22. In our second chapter, we shed light on the struggles LPC associates face and scrutinize the temporary supervisor arrangements some agencies use. Find out why these arrangements often lead to paperwork nightmares and liability concerns. We'll also tackle the thorny issue of agencies paying for supervisor training only to see trainees quit midway, leaving a trail of reimbursement disputes. Learn why written agreements are crucial for both agencies and course takers, and discover practical solutions to these common challenges. This is your go-to episode for understanding the intricacies of the LPC licensure process and the responsibilities it entails.
