Supervising LPC-Associates Who Open Their Own Counseling Practice: Challenges

This presentation will focus on the new rule (681.91(d)) adopted by the LPC Board. This rule allows LPC-Associates to establish a private practice awhile completing their LPC-Associate. Using a case study, discussion will focus on how this change can impact ethics, supervision, and liability. 

Learning Objectives:

2. Participants will be able to identify and mitigate potential risks involved in supervising a LPC-Associate in counseling practice. 

3. Participants will be able to properly prepare LPC-Associates for potential challenges they may face in running a counseling practice.
