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

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 actual New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department - Counseling and Therapy Practice Board form from your records. Not a reproduction — the same PDF the board accepts.
  • 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. 50% of every Pro subscription goes to Shane's Coffee — a vocational training program for people living with mental health challenges and disabilities.
