Lunch and Learn: LSMHC 101: Massachusetts’ New Supervised License

1.5 hour (1.5 Continuing Education Credits)

$25 for Members

$50 for Non-Members

Description (virtual workshop on zoom): 

On July 31, 2026, the Massachusetts Board of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions enacted the Licensed Supervised Mental Health Counselor (LSMHC) license for counselors completing supervised post-master's experience. This introductory Lunch and Learn is for graduate students, post-master's counselors, and the LMHCs who supervise and hire them.

Participants will review who is eligible for the LSMHC, what the application requires, and what it costs. They will compare the LSMHC and LMHC pathways, including how holding the LSMHC lifts the five-year limit on a passing NCMHCE score and shortens the later LMHC application. The session also covers who can supervise an LSMHC, the hour and supervision requirements that still apply, and the 262 CMR 8.00 conduct standards for LSMHCs and their supervisors, including the supervisor's duty to address multiculturalism and diversity. Application scenarios give participants practice, and the session closes with official sources and next steps.
