Does your state allow LCPCs to supervise LCSW-C or other Social Workers coming into the profession? We do not in Maine and are looking at introducing legislation to allow it as they have the same scope of practice and we need all the workers in the field we can get. Currently, we are losing LCPCs to other states where they can move up the supervisory ladder. Thanks for any info you can share!
