How to Become an Approved Clinical Supervisor for LPCs in Minnesota

If you're a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota aiming to become a board-approved clinical supervisor, understanding the state's requirements and accessing the right training is crucial. This guide outlines the necessary steps and how Telehealth Certification Institute (TCI) can support you in achieving your supervision goals.


🧾 Minnesota Clinical Supervisor Requirements

The Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (BBHT) outlines the following requirements for counselors who want to supervise:

✅ Hold a current Minnesota LPC or LPCC license
✅ Accumulate at least four years of post-licensure clinical experience
✅ Complete 45 hours of training in clinical supervision, which may be obtained through:

  • Graduate-level coursework

  • CE programs or workshops

  • A combination of the above

These requirements are detailed in Minnesota Administrative Rules 2150.5010.
