Therapy Academy helps mental health professionals refine their skills, build confidence, and navigate their journey toward licensure and certification.
What is Clinical Supervision?
Clinical supervision is a collaborative process that helps mental health professionals grow in skill and confidence. It’s a space where you can get guidance on tough cases and strengthen your clinical judgment. Supervision also provides a foundation for ethical decision-making and professional development, helping you stay grounded, effective, and aligned with best practices.
Who This Service Is For:
A mental health professional needing to accumulate supervised clinical hours for state licensure.
A professional committed to deepening their skills in areas like play therapy or eating disorders.
Someone looking for a supportive, ethical, and challenging clinical supervision experience.

What are the requirements for licensure in Texas?
LPC-A's and LMFT-A's must accrue 3,000 experience hours in no less than two years. The requirements include a minimum of one hour of supervision per week. We will work with you to create a personalized plan to help you meet all requirements for your licensure or certification.
