I'M READY TO GRAB THE COURSE

Where are my counselors who are ready to take it OUTSIDE the therapy room and grow the next generation of counselors but you're:

  • Not sure what to look for in a 40 hour training and
  • That's a lot of money to spend so you better choose wisely and
  • Aren't all the courses the same anyway?

The truth is, too many times, 40 hour supervisor training courses are pricey and they fall flat.

The answer? You need systems, resources, and support to:

  • Protect your license from supervisee mistakes.
  • Teach supervisees what they need to know AND hold them accountable.
  • Ethically turn supervising into a profitable addition to your counseling practice.

Testimonial Kate Walker Training LPC Supervisor Course

Did you know? The state-mandated 40 Hour Supervisor Training is no longer approved or vetted by the state of Texas.

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 (2023 saw 3 UPDATES!)
  • A part-time instructor who may be a supervisor, but only teaches the 40 hour training 'on the side' in addition to running a 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 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  • Outdated templates, resources, and paperwork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'll 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:

  • The most up to date information. In fact, in addition to updating the course monthly we host 1-2 webinars on board rule updates annually and invite board members and staff to attend.
  • An anti-racist foundation. We don't just include a multicultural module; our entire course is designed so you create an anti-racist supervision practice.
  • Expert and research-driven systems. Dr. Walker is a counselor educator who speaks and publishes regularly in the field of counseling and supervision (most recently she was co-presenter with UT El Paso faculty at the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision National Conference in October 2023).
  • Comprehensive resources. You will graduate with a working contract, a supervision plan, and directions to implement a remediation plan (OER Triad) that will help you supervise successfully and protect your license.
  • Information based on the business of supervising. Lesson modules include information on supervision and supervision business issues plus every course comes with "What to Charge for Supervision," and "Essential Systems to Protect Your License and Your Sanity."
  • Graduates of the Pro and Elite plans get the Step it UP Membership where they'll have unlimited supervisor, ethics, and multicultural CEs; a directory listing in the highest ranking supervisor directory in Texas; access to on-demand training and webinar replays; and tickets to our monthly virtual supervisor consultation groups featuring experts in the field of clinical supervision.
  • Inclusive community. Whether you join our Texas Supervisor Coalition Facebook group, our monthly consultation groups, the Step it UP Membership, or just listen regularly to the Texas Counselors Creating Badass Businesses Podcast on your favorite Podcast Provider (over 7000 downloads) you are part of a nurturing group of professionals who are dedicated to your success.
  • 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 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 40 hour supervisor trainings!
  • Instructors committed to your graduation. Our Online 40 Hour LPC/LMFT Supervisor Training course consistently graduates more supervisors than any other supervisor training course in Texas. We are committed to filling the gaps in access to affordable mental health care in rural and underserved Texas. That means YOU get to become part of the solution.

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? I remember that courses must be taught by approved providers only.

 

A: There are no board-approved courses (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 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, but we do charge an extra fee to account for the extra transaction fees. Also, much like universities, we will not give you your certificate until your account is paid in full.

 

Q: I'm an LPC licensed 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: For LPC, yes. LMFT doesn't specify. 

Q: Can I get certificates for each module I take within the course?

A: Unfortunately no. The course will provide you with one completion certificate when you finish the entire thing.

Q: How long can I take to complete the 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. If you take longer than 90 days you can still complete, but your certificate will indicate that you are not eligible for the supervisor designation through Kate Walker Training. 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 and you may be able to purchase a new 40 hour training under some circumstances. Check with support@katewalkertraining.com to see if you are eligible.
