LPC Associate Supervision in Dallas, Texas
I currently offer individual supervision for Texas LPC Associates, with options to meet in person in Dallas or virtually throughout Texas.
Supervision for LPC Associates
Grow into the therapist you want to become
Becoming a therapist is about more than learning techniques, accumulating hours, or finding the right intervention. It’s about discovering how to sit with uncertainty, trust your clinical instincts, and develop a therapeutic presence that feels authentically yours.
I believe supervision should offer a space where you can ask difficult questions, explore your clinical work with curiosity, and feel supported as you grow into your professional identity.
My approach balances meaningful connection with clinical accountability, thoughtful reflection with practical guidance, and encouragement with honest feedback.

My supervision philosophy
I don’t believe there’s one right way to be a therapist.
Good supervision isn’t about creating a carbon copy of your supervisor. It’s about helping you discover your own strengths, recognize your growing edges, and develop the confidence and discernment to practice in a way that’s both ethical and authentic.
I want our work together to be collaborative and relational. We’ll make room for clinical questions, uncertainty, mistakes, professional development, and the experiences that shape who you are as a person and clinician.
What we can explore together
- Case conceptualization, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making
- Ethics, professional boundaries, documentation, and risk assessment
- Trauma-informed care and complex clinical presentations
- Developing your therapeutic style and professional identity
- Countertransference, self-doubt, and challenging clinical moments
- Career development, private practice, and professional direction
- Educational exploration of EMDR, IFS, somatic approaches, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, as appropriate to training and scope of practice
My background
My professional experience includes inpatient addiction treatment, intensive outpatient programming, group practice, and building my own private practice.
My clinical work focuses heavily on trauma, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic approaches, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I bring those experiences into supervision while supporting each supervisee’s individual interests and direction.
Structure and logistics
My founding supervisee rate is $400 per month, which includes four 60-minute individual supervision meetings, generally scheduled weekly. That introductory rate is intended to remain in place throughout our supervisory relationship. Additional supervision hours can be arranged at $150 per hour.

Frequently asked questions
How many supervision hours does an LPC Associate need in Texas?
Rule 681.92 requires “a minimum of four (4) hours per month of supervision” while you are engaged in counseling, within at least 3,000 clock-hours of supervised experience. The Council adds that the monthly hours “can be divided and scheduled throughout the month in a way that is mutually agreed upon by the associate and the approved supervisor.”
How long does it take to complete LPC Associate hours in Texas?
Rule 681.92 sets 3,000 clock-hours of supervised experience, including “at least 1,500 clock-hours of direct client counseling contact,” and says: “An LPC Associate may not complete the required 3,000 clock-hours of supervised experience in less than 18 months.”
What is the 50% rule for LPC Associates in Texas?
It is the group supervision limit in rule 681.92: “No more than 50% of the total hours of supervision may be received in group supervision.” In that rule, individual supervision means “up to two Associates” and group means “three or more.”
What is the difference between an LPC and an LPC Associate?
An LPC Associate is licensed to counsel only while completing supervised experience. Rule 681.91 says: “An LPC Associate may practice counseling only as part of his or her internship and only under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S). The LPC Associate shall not engage in independent practice.”
Do I need a supervisor before applying for the LPC Associate license?
Yes. Rule 681.91 lets the Council issue the LPC Associate license to an applicant who has “entered into a supervisory agreement with a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S).” The Council’s Supervision FAQs page adds: “You don’t need to have a job lined up to apply for the LPC Associate license. However, you must submit a Supervisory Agreement Form (SAF) with your application.”
What does LPC-S mean?
LPC-S stands for Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor. Rule 681.49 says a licensed professional counselor “who is a Council-approved supervisor may use the designation ‘LPC-S’ when advertising their supervisory status.”
Can any LPC supervise an LPC Associate?
No. Rule 681.93 says “Supervision of an LPC Associate without having Council approved supervisor status is grounds for disciplinary action.” The Council’s Find a Supervisor page explains how to “search for currently approved supervisors” in its online license verification system.
Do supervised hours expire?
The LPC Associate license “will expire 60 months from the date of issuance,” and an Associate who does not complete the hours in that time “must reapply for licensure” (rule 681.91). The Council says: “Any experience hours already completed will carry over and count toward the new license if there is appropriate record submitted to the board.”
