READY TO BECOME A TEXAS SUPERVISOR?

All it takes is about 30 minutes a day to finish in the state-mandated 90 days. But you can finish sooner!

Did you know Texas licensing boards do not approve or vet the mandated 40 Hour Supervisor Training Courses or course instructors?

If you aren't careful, you could end up spending lots of money on a course with:

• Dated or insufficient information about the latest state and federal laws and Licensing Board rules (2025 saw 3 UPDATES!)
• A part-time instructor who may be a supervisor, but only teaches the supervisor training 'on the side' in addition to running a busy private practice
• No usable contract, OER Framework, supervision plan, or remediation plan at the conclusion of the course to protect your license
• Zero information about how to recruit new supervisees and the business of supervising so you can ethically make a living
• Insufficient multicultural competencies
• Outdated templates, resources, and paperwork
• Zero FREE supervisor continuing education (and you may need that if you get your "S" before you renew your license)
• Nonexistent or tiny supervision community following graduation
• No live virtual monthly consultation groups featuring expert speakers who help new and seasoned supervisors navigate tricky supervising situations
• No listing in the top SEO-ranked directory for Texas Clinical Supervisors

And do you really want to spend money on a course that does not have everything you need to protect your license and make a living?

At Kate Walker Training you get more than just a course.

You get:

• Supervision Contract and Supervision Plan that spells out exactly what you expect from your supervisees, and what they can expect from you.
• The OER Framework takes your contract and plan and turns it into an accountability system for supervisees.
• A Remediation Plan template and procedures that will help you supervise successfully and protect your license from supervisee mistakes.
• Supervision Ideas. No more fears about what you're going to cover in supervision today! We've got you covered.
• Information based on the business of supervising. Every course includes information that will leave you feeling equipped to create a successful supervision practice.

• Instructors committed to your graduation. Our Online 40 Hour LPC/LMFT Supervisor Training courses consistently graduate more supervisors than any other supervisor training course in Texas.

We are the original supervision course. Since starting the supervisor training course with Dr. Judy DeTrude in 2006 as Achieve Balance, Kate Walker Training is the longest-running supervisor course in Texas and the first completely online LPC and LMFT and Social Work Supervisor training course in Texas. We were audited by the LPC board in 2016 and served as a model for how other online courses should be designed. In fact, we even trained the instructors of other Texas supervisor trainings!

Course FAQ

Q: If I finish this program, am I automatically a supervisor?

A: No. The Kate Walker Training Online 40 Hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Course only meets the education criteria set forth by the licensing boards. Upon completing this program, participants seeking the clinical supervisor credential must still meet the criteria mandated in their state regulations, apply, and pay all applicable fees. State licensing boards have ultimate jurisdiction.

Q: Is this course approved by the Texas LPC/LMFT licensing boards?

A: There are no board-approved courses or course providers in Texas (that rule went away in 2019 so if you see an instructor advertising they are board-approved....they may not be reading all the rules).

Here's what the boards DO require:

• Both the LPC and LMFT boards require the course instructor to be a Supervisor and Dr. Walker is a LPC Supervisor and LMFT Supervisor. 
• Additionally, both the Texas LPC and LMFT regulations require 33 of the 40 hours to meet certain criteria. The Kate Walker Training Online 40 Hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Training Course meets or exceeds Texas LPC and LMFT standards.
• This course meets the 50% rule which stipulates that 50% of LPC and LMFT CEs must be from a provider type listed on the LPC and LMFT boards' designated provider type list.

When the Texas law changed in 2019 allowing the 40 hour training to be offered completely online, Kate Walker Training was the first to take its approved supervisor training workshop and convert it to an online format. We complied with the 40 hour requirement by going the extra mile and using NBCC standards for text and video lectures. 

Bottom line? We believe our carefully crafted content provides gives you everything you need to protect your license and enjoy supervising.

Q: Can you guarantee that my certificate will be accepted by the LPC and LMFT Boards and they will automatically give me my supervisor designation?

A: Remember the licensing boards have final say. If you are missing experience hours or you are trying to transfer from another state, the board may have additional requirements for you. Also the board may have additional requirements due to rule updates (the self-query requirement is a great example of this). So while we have never had one of our certificates denied by any board we are aware of, we cannot guarantee that the board will give you your supervisor designation.

Q: This course is online but do I ever get to talk to an instructor and ask questions?

A: Yes. We have a weekly Zoom/virtual study hall that our instructors and graders attend. You can also use the link in your course to schedule a phone call.

Q: Are there payment plans?

A: Yes, we proudly accept Affirm and Klarna. Just click here and request a link.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: We accept major credit cards, Amazon Pay, Link, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH payments. .

Q: I have been a LPC for three years. If I take the course now, can I submit the certificate in two years when I become eligible? In other words, is this course good for two years?

A: Yes.

Q: If I don't finish in 90 days can I get a certificate for each module I take within the course?

A: Unfortunately no. You will earn one completion certificate when you finish the entire course.

Q: How long can I take to complete the Texas 40 Hour LPC LMFT Supervisor Training?

A: As of 2023 both LPC and LMFT boards allow only 90 days to complete the course. At Kate Walker Training we start the 90 day clock when you purchase the course (or use your voucher if your course was purchased for you by someone else). If you take longer than 90 days you can still complete everything, but your certificate will indicate that you are not eligible for the supervisor designation through Kate Walker Training. Of course you can still complete the training with another provider.

Q: I didn't finish in 90 days. Can I re-take your course?

A: Remember, even if you don't finish in 90 days, you paid for the course and it's still yours. You can continue to work on it for CEs. We do roll out updated courses annually and you are welcome to purchase a new 40 hour training when we publish them.
