Attention all students and new professionals!  On September 15, 2024, the Allied Board of Mental Health and Human Services launched a new, simplified application, along with continuing to modify the eLx Portal application process. Although this is a less complex form, with no math required, that has already streamlined the process and spend up the timeline for approval, there is a big CAUTION!

Random audits will occur.  If an applicant is selected for this audit, they will be required to complete the older form, with all the math included.

MaMHCA advises all applicants to complete BOTH forms as you progress through the process. This means you should complete the older form with the math AND the new, simpler form with each supervisor at the time you end supervision.

MaMHCA recommends you download the 262CMR Section 2 and the new LMHC Application Guide from the Allied Board’s website.  If you need more help, attend the one of MaMHCA’s LMHC Application Support Clinics before requesting 1:1 consultation.
