The fine print most trackers miss
New Mexico-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LPCC associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Independent counseling-board supervisors must hold the New Mexico Approved Clinical Supervisor designation and maintain the required supervision-specific continuing education.
- Supervised contact hours become invalid if they were obtained more than 5 years before submission for independent LPCC licensure, unless the applicant has continuously maintained a license in good standing
- New Mexico counts LPCC experience in clinical client-contact hours, not in a mix of client and other work hours

How ClearPath handles New Mexico LPCC
- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 3,000-hour direct-client minimum, and the supervision ratios at the time you log it.
- Auto-filled official form. When you're ready to apply, ClearPath fills the official form of the New Mexico Counseling and Therapy Practice Board from your records. It is the same PDF the board accepts, not a reproduction.
- Supervisor portal. Your supervisor logs in, reviews your weekly entries, and e-signs without printing. No paper PDFs, no scanning.
- AI hour reviewer. Ask plain-language questions about your log ("what week did I miss a supervision hour?") and get the exact answer in seconds.
- $25/year. One quarter the price of the legacy tracker.
