The fine print most trackers miss
New York-specific rules
These are the rules that catch LMHC associates off-guard at submission. ClearPath flags each one in real time as you log.
- Experience completed in New York must be under a limited permit; other jurisdictions can count when the experience was completed legally under equivalent requirements
- 36 hours CE every 3 years

- Live rule validation. Every entry is checked against the 3,000-hour total, the 1,500-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 York State Education Department, Office of the Professions 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.
