Serving as a clinical supervisor in Wyoming is a rewarding way to shape the next generation of psychologists. If you’re a licensed psychologist (LP) wondering how to serve as a supervisor in Wyoming, this guide will walk you through the Wyoming clinical supervisor requirements. We’ll cover who qualifies under state board rules, any ongoing Wyoming LP supervision CE obligations, pitfalls to avoid, and how you can meet training requirements with the Telehealth Certification Institute’s courses. By the end, you’ll understand Wyoming’s supervision training requirements for LPs and be ready to supervise with confidence.

📜 Supervisor Eligibility Requirements in Wyoming

In Wyoming, only experienced, qualified psychologists can supervise trainees or psychological residents. Key requirements (outlined in 068-14 Wyo. Code R. § 14) include:

• Licensed Psychologist in Wyoming: You must hold a current license to practice psychology in Wyoming in order to serve as a supervisor. Only fully licensed psychologists (not interns or unlicensed individuals) are permitted to supervise under Wyoming Board of Psychology rules.
  (Section 3(m), Section 4(a))

• Minimum Experience – 2 Years: Wyoming requires that a supervisor have at least two years of independent clinical practice in the area of psychology in which they will supervise. This means you should have been licensed and practicing independently (post-licensure) for a minimum of two years before supervising others.
  (Section 3(m))

• Competence in the Supervised Area: Supervisors may only oversee those areas of practice in which they are competent by virtue of their training and experience. In other words, you should only supervise in areas where you have appropriate expertise. For example, if your background is in clinical psychology, you shouldn’t supervise neuropsychological assessments unless you’re competent in that domain.
  (Section 3(k), 3(m), 3(o))

• Ethical and Legal Responsibility: As a supervisor, you must be familiar with and abide by all ethical principles and laws related to psychology practice and supervision. The board rules explicitly state that supervising psychologists shall follow the ethical standards for both practice and supervision. You are clinically and legally responsible for the work of your supervisee; if necessary, you must interrupt or stop the supervisee’s activities to protect the public or ensure proper training. In short, the supervisor bears ultimate responsibility to ensure clients are safe and the supervisee is practicing appropriately.
  (Section 3(m), 4(a))

• Awareness of Supervisee’s Skills and Limits: Wyoming’s Board of Psychology expects supervisors to stay reasonably aware of each supervisee’s professional skills, experience, and limitations. Supervisors should only assign duties that the supervisee is qualified and trained to perform, and must not allow the supervisee to provide services beyond their competence. This helps protect clients and ensures the supervisee isn’t pushed beyond their scope of training.
  (Section 3(j), 3(o))

• Board-Approved Supervision Plan for Psychological Residents: If you are supervising a post-doctoral Psychological Resident (an LP candidate completing their supervised experience), Wyoming requires a formal supervision plan to be filed and approved by the Board before the supervisee can begin providing services. The plan of supervision must be individualized to the supervisee, outline the practice areas and activities, and be signed by both supervisor and supervisee. In Wyoming, the supervisor needs to submit a Supervision Agreement form (provided by the Board) when overseeing a post-doc, and any changes to that supervision arrangement must be reported within 10 days. Failing to get board approval for a supervisee’s plan can result in the supervisee’s hours not counting toward licensure.
  (Section 3(b)–(c)–(p))

• Subject to Board Evaluation: The Wyoming Board of Psychology can evaluate a supervisor’s qualifications at any time and may disqualify a psychologist from supervising if they fail to provide adequate supervision. In other words, you must maintain these standards – if a supervisor is found not adhering to the rules or not effectively supervising, the board can take action (including not recognizing the supervision or taking disciplinary measures). Always ensure you’re meeting the state requirements at the time you are providing supervision.
  (Section 3(l), 3(m))

🔄 Ongoing/Renewal CE Requirements

Wyoming does not have any supervisor-specific continuing education requirements for psychologists. In other words, there are no extra CE hours you must complete just because you serve as a clinical supervisor. Instead, you must meet the same CE standards that apply to all licensed psychologists in the state. Your Wyoming LP supervision CE will be the same CE you use for general license renewal.

Right now, Wyoming is in a transition period between its old CE rules and the new requirements in Chapter 18, Section 2 of the Board’s Rules & Regulations.

For renewals in 2026 or 2027 – old rules still allowed

• 30 CE hours obtained during the 48 months immediately preceding the renewal date

• Up to 20 CE hours may be earned from designated activities reviewed and approved by the Wyoming Psychological Association (WPA) or the Wyoming School Psychology Association (WSPA)

• At least 10 CE hours must be earned from program-designed activities reviewed and approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) or the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP)

If your renewal falls in 2026 or 2027, you can still follow this 30-hour/48-month structure.

For the next renewal cycle (2028 or 2029 and beyond – new Chapter 18 rules)

• Complete 40 CE hours every two years

• Include at least 3 hours in ethics

• Include at least 3 hours in risk assessment (for example, assessing harm to self, harm to others, or inability to care for oneself)

• Complete at least 10 hours from APA- or NASP-approved programs. Remaining CE can be earned via any of the following:

• Taking courses approved by any state’s psychology association;

• Teaching a grad/undergrad course on psychology for the first time (1 course = 10 CE hours);

• Taking psychology courses that are regionally-accredited and graduate-level;

• Conducting a presentation related to psychology
  (068-14 Wyo. Code R. § 18(2)(b)(iii))

Earn all CE hours within the two years immediately before renewal

These CE rules apply to all psychologists and are the framework you’ll use to plan your Wyoming LP supervision CE, even though there are no extra hours required solely for being a supervisor.

Documentation duty (068-14 Wyo. Code R. § 18(2)(d))
Under both the old and new frameworks, licensees are responsible for keeping documentation of all CE activities and how they relate to the practice of psychology, and for providing this documentation to the Board if requested. Keeping organized CE records is especially important during this transition period so you can clearly show how you met the applicable CE rules for your specific renewal cycle.

⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid

• Failing to File the Supervision Plan: Wyoming requires an approved supervision plan for supervisees (especially post-doctoral residents) before they begin practice under supervision. A typical mistake is forgetting to submit this plan or update it when things change. If your supervisee isn’t officially registered/approved with the Board, their hours might not count toward licensure. Always file the supervision agreement and get Board approval prior to the supervisee seeing clients, and submit any changes within 10 days.

• Improper or Incomplete Documentation: Both the supervision sessions and the supervisee’s work need proper documentation. Wyoming rules say you must document each supervision meeting with dates, length of time, and the nature of the contact. If you don’t keep these records, you could have difficulty later proving that supervision took place as required. Additionally, ensure the supervisee’s clinical records clearly indicate when a case is supervised and include your name/signature in some form (e.g. a note in the chart) to show you are overseeing the case. Hours of supervision can be disqualified if records are lacking or inconsistent, so set up a good record-keeping habit from day one.

• Not Meeting Supervisor Requirements at Time of Supervision: It’s crucial that you, as the supervisor, fully meet Wyoming’s requirements while supervising. For instance, if you started supervising slightly before having two years of independent practice, or you weren’t licensed in Wyoming at the time, those supervised hours might be invalid. Double-check that your license is active (and in good standing), you’ve hit that two-year post-licensure mark, and you’re competent in the area of practice before agreeing to supervise. The Board can and will void supervision that doesn’t meet their rules. Remember, the Board may even disqualify a supervisor who isn’t providing adequate oversight. So don’t stretch yourself too thin by supervising in unfamiliar territory or before you’re ready.

By being mindful of these pitfalls – getting plans approved, documenting diligently, and adhering to the qualification rules – you’ll set up both yourself and your supervisee for success. Supervision is a big responsibility, but with careful attention to the rules, you can avoid administrative headaches and focus on providing quality guidance.

📘 How the Telehealth Certification Institute Helps You

Once you meet Wyoming’s requirements to serve as a clinical supervisor, the next step is maintaining your knowledge and meeting your ongoing training needs. Although there are no supervisor-specific CE hours required in Wyoming, you still must complete your general psychology renewal requirements, which are outlined in Chapter 18, Section 2 of the Wyoming Board’s Rules and Regulations.

The Telehealth Certification Institute (TCI) provides APA-approved continuing education courses that can both strengthen your supervision skills and count toward your overall Wyoming LP supervision CE requirements.

Recommended Courses

• Clinical Supervision Certificate Program (CSC)
  Our comprehensive Clinical Supervision Certificate Program is designed to build core and advanced supervision competencies. The program provides 49 CE hours, which can help you meet and even exceed your general psychology license renewal requirements while deepening your skills as a supervisor.
  Because Wyoming also requires at least 3 hours in risk assessment, it’s important to know that the CSC program does not include a dedicated risk assessment course—you will still need separate CE hours specifically focused on risk assessment to meet that requirement.

• Suicide Prevention and Response Courses
  Since Wyoming requires at least 3 CE hours in risk assessment (for example, assessing harm to self, harm to others, or inability to care for oneself), you can browse TCI’s Suicide Prevention and Response offerings to help fulfill this requirement.

• 30 CE Clinical Supervision Training Bundle
  If you are renewing under the older 30-hour CE structure (available for 2026 or 2027 renewals), TCI’s 30 CE Clinical Supervision Training Bundle can be an efficient way to cover your entire 30-hour CE requirement while focusing on supervision skills. This bundle packages multiple supervision-focused courses into one discounted option, helping you:

  • Build a solid foundation in clinical supervision.
  • Earn up to 30 CE hours that can be applied toward your Wyoming renewal (subject to Board rules on timing and content).

• Individual Clinical Supervision CE Courses
  If you prefer to target specific supervision skills, you can select from our catalog of individual clinical supervision CE courses. These include topics such as supervision ethics, documentation, telesupervision, multicultural supervision, and managing challenging supervisee situations. You can mix and match courses based on your interests and needs, using them to both enhance your competence as a supervisor and satisfy your ongoing Wyoming LP supervision CE requirements.
