LPC Supervised Professional Practice

• If an applicant completed 2,000 hours of supervised, post-masters professional practice with a Board Approved Supervisor prior to applying for the LPC; 
  • The supervisor must complete a Verification of Supervision Plan Completion form (Section H of the LPC application). 
  • The supervisor must either mail or email this document directly to the BBHT office.  The board inbox is BBHT.Board@state.mn.us and our physical address is 335 Randolph Avenue Suite 290, St. Paul, MN 55102.
  • All supervision must comply with the BBHT supervision requirements to be accepted by the Board. 
   

• If an applicant has not completed 2,000 hours of supervised, post-masters professional practice with board-approved supervision prior to applying for the LPC; 
  • Applicants must find a Board Approved LPC/LPCC supervisor; and 
  • Complete a supervision plan (section G of the LPC application) confirming that the applicant and the supervisor will complete your 2,000 hours in compliance with the Board's supervision requirements.
    • The LPC license will be issued under this supervision plan if approved by the Board.  
• Once the 2,000 hours of supervised, post-masters professional practice is completed, the supervisor must complete a Verification of Supervision Plan Completion form and mail or email it directly to the BBHT office.  Our inbox is BBHT.Board@state.mn.us and our physical address is 335 Randolph Avenue, Suite 290, St. Paul, MN 55102.
  • The license will be then converted from LPC-Supervised to LPC-Independent status. 

• BBHT has a supervisor look-up tool on the BBHT website that allows anyone to look up Board Approved Supervisors by city/name or zip code/name. 
• Individuals who seek to become a Board Approved Supervisor, complete the LPC/LPCC Supervisor Application.

• If you started supervision with a new supervisor, complete the LPC Supervision Plan Change form and send it to the BBHT office. 
• Make sure your previous supervisor completes the document verifying the practice hours you completed.
