Hi Jennifer,
In the State of Illinois you have to have supervision from either an
LCPC,a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist to receive the LCPC. This
stands for licensed clinical professional counselor. We also have the
LPC, licensed professional counselor, which is curricular-related not
work-related.  Our students may sit for this exam following the
completion of their MA degree.  Most of the DTR's who sit for their LCPC
receive supervision from ADTR's who are also LCPC's.  This allows them
to meet both the standards for state licensure and the ADTA's ADTR
credentialing guidelines.  They do not have to pay for duplicate
supervision, but receive it from the person who is both an ADTR/LCPC.  I
hope this is helpful and good luck!!!
Susan Imus

Hello everyone: As some of you are aware, we are "re-engaged" with a
dialogue with the Texas Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors,
since they state they have determined in the past that dance/movement
therapy is a counseling modality, but the degree is not "counseling
related."  The upshot of this is that they are refusing to look at
degrees
with that title, and have refused a few of us over the past year in
obtaining the LPC license.  I have a lawyer working on the case and he
suggested to me that, in order to show the board a sense of cohesion
among
our discipline, to have former students or perhaps even "heads" of these
Departments that offer the masters degree, place the classes in the
categories designated by the Texas Board to be within their
requirements. 
I have done this with Columbia and I know Suzy Matheson has done it with
Antioch, however it would be most helpful to us if some of the former
students of Naropa, Pratt, Hahnemann, etc, could do the same.  Their
requirements are nothing new--etc: Human Development, Abnormal human
behavior, Appraisal or assessment techniques, counseling theories,
Counseling methods or techniques, Research, Lifestyle and career
development, social cultural and family issues, Professional
orientation,
and practicum.  It would also be helpful to know if any of the DMTs that
have been licensed by your particular state were required to obtain
additional supervision by an LPC or type-supervisor, rather than having
your ADTR supervision count when it was also under the review of a
psychiatrist, for example.
Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.  We are working hard to set
a
final precendent here in order for us to be viewed as the experienced
and
knowledgeable clinicians that we are.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Edwards, MA, ADTR, NCC
