The fine print most trackers miss
New York-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LCSW associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Must have 12 semester hours clinical coursework in degree
- At least 2,000 client-contact hours must be in diagnosis, psychotherapy, and assessment-based treatment planning
- Experience must span at least 36 months and no more than 72 months; reaching 2,000 client-contact hours earlier does not shorten the 3-year minimum
