Clinical Supervisor Training Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to be licensed to become a supervisor?
Each state licensing board has their own rules and guidelines. Go to the Rules and Regulations for your state to look up the length of time required after becoming fully licensed.
How many hours of a CE training are required for my state?
Each state licensing board has their own rules and guidelines. Go to the Rules and Regulations for your state to look up the number of hours of Supervisor CE training required to apply for Supervisor status.
Why is the training 45 hours? I don’t need that many hours of CEs in my state.
NBCC has an Approved Clinical Supervisor track that requires completion of a 45 hour Supervisor CE training. This training can be used towards that designation or to become a supervisor in your state.
What makes your training different than other trainings?
My passion for supervision began as I went through a training within my state and became Supervisor. As I began supervising in those first two years, I realized that doing case consultation week in and week out did not meet the specific needs of each supervisee I had or help them reach their fullest potential.
In counseling clients, I focus on building a relationship with the client for any theoretical approach. My question to myself became why aren’t we doing this in supervision? The training I developed has an emphasis on activities that give opportunities for a supervisee to consider their personality, their life experiences, their cultural experiences, and past supervision experiences to raise their self-awareness and for building a relationship with their supervisor as both mutually disclose experiences in the field.
My goal has also been for the training to provide all necessary paperwork, logs, and information to apply to any state for a new supervisor to be fully equipped to begin supervising ethically and responsibly to keep their supervisor license throughout their career.
Why would I want to become a supervisor?
Reason #1
Providing supervision has allowed me to pour into the next generation of counselors who hopefully will carry on what they have learned into the generations that follow. By pouring into them, the number of clients I am able to impact through them multiplies.
Reason #2
Being a supervisor was also the first step that led me to growing a thriving group counseling practice, established in 2007, that now has 18 counselors offering over 1,200 sessions a month.
Reason #3
Being a supervisor led me to opportunities to lead trainings for associations and organizations in our city, state, nationally, and now internationally.
