Important Announcement Regarding Supervision Contracts

ATTENTION: Effective Jan. 31, 2024, the NCBLCMHC will not retroactively approve supervision contracts or supervision hours earned without an approved supervision contract on file. Please be advised, if you are currently receiving or providing supervision and you have not received written approval from the board, you will need to submit all required documentation no later than Jan. 31, 2024.

All LCMHCAs shall only provide counseling while under the supervision of a qualified clinical supervisor with a supervision contract approved by the board. You must receive approval of the supervision contract prior to rendering counseling services. At least one contract is required per supervisor. You may have multiple supervisors, but a separate contract is needed for each of the supervisors. Notification must be given to the board within two weeks of termination of or a change in supervision contract. If not receiving supervision, it shall be the responsibility of the LCMHCA to report such to the board. A Final Report is to be filed at conclusion or termination of supervision. If you have multiple supervisors, a Final Report is required from each supervisor.

SUPERVISION MUST CONTINUE UNTIL THE LCMHCA/APPLICANT RECEIVES THE LCMHC LICENSE.
