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
- The current rule measures LPCC experience in clinical client-contact hours rather than a broader mixed-hours bucket
