The fine print most trackers miss
New Jersey-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LPCC associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- The standard pathway requires 3 calendar years of supervised professional counseling experience; applicants with 30 additional post-master's counseling credits may qualify with 2 calendar years
- Up to 1 calendar year of practicum or internship experience earned before the master's degree may count if those hours are not also used to satisfy the education requirement
- The written supervision plan for a Licensed Associate Counselor must be approved by the Committee before counseling services begin
