What Oregon Requires to Become an LPC or LMFT Supervisor

Under OAR 833-130-0040, you qualify as a Supervisor Candidate by holding an active Oregon license as a professional counselor or marriage and family therapist, completing 30 clock hours of post-master’s degree supervision training, and passing the board’s Supervisor’s Law and Rules Exam. Supervisors of MFT associates also need supervision training that includes systems components.

According to the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists, an Approved Supervisor also needs two years of active licensure with the board (or AAMFT or CCE Approved Supervisor status, or a CACREP-accredited doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision), at least 6 hours of supervision of your clinical supervision by a Board Approved Supervisor, and at least 100 hours of post-licensure experience supervising. Supervisor Candidates have five years to meet those requirements.

This course provides the 30 clock hours of supervision training, organized around the content areas in the board’s Supervisor Training Guidelines. The board makes the final decision on your registration.

Review the current requirements on the board’s Supervisor page.

Tools you'll use with real supervisees
You'll get an optional supervision contract activity, step-by-step guidance for building your supervision plan, and a remediation plan template, plus guidance on recruiting and onboarding supervisees.
A plan for every budget
Basic, Pro, and Elite share the same 30-hour course. The higher plans add continuing education, resources, and ongoing support after you graduate.
Confidence to lead
Many new supervisors start out unsure. The course gives you a structured framework for evaluation, feedback, and difficult conversations, so you're prepared when supervision gets complicated.
Support after you graduate
Supervision can feel isolating at first. Pro and Elite graduates have community and ongoing support, so you have people to ask during your first year of supervising.
