Hi Colleagues,
I would like your thoughts on this matter. I’ll keep it very short. One of my colleagues is currently working at a private practice as a postgraduate MHC trainee. She has collected over 3,000+ clinical hours and 100+ hours (over two years)…enough hours to submit her verification of postgraduate degree supervised professional counseling experience form. She is in a strange situation because her supervisor (also the owner of the practice) will not sign off on her hours. The owner wants her to stay for another two years to “pay back for individual training and supervision.” Additionally, the owner has created multiple contingencies such as “You need to pass the NCE before I sign it…we need to review all your charts…” I feel as if the owner is doing whatever possible to keep her there as a trainee. My colleague feels so paralyzed. What should she do? Who should she contact for guidance? DPH? ACA? AMHCA? I would like to help her but lack the legal knowledge to do so. Thanks all.
