Subject to the provisions herein, an individual who holds a license with this Board or any other type of mental health license may not obtain the required practicum, internship or supervised experience required for another license with this Board while practicing under the first license. During the documented hours of the practicum, internship or supervised experience, the individual may provide psychological services only under the authority of the qualified supervisor of the practicum, internship or supervised experience, not under the authority of the first license. The individual must use an appropriate title which is indicated by the Act and Board rules during the practicum, internship, or supervised experience that clearly indicates that the individual is being supervised; however, a licensed psychological associate may use their title while providing services within a practicum that is part of the person's supervised course of study to obtain a doctoral degree in psychology if the individual is being supervised by a licensed psychologist. Unless a specific exception is set out in another Board rule, the individual may not use the title of the first license during the documented hours of the practicum, internship, or supervised experience. All clients or patients that receive services from the individual seeking licensure must be informed that the individual is being supervised and how the supervisor may be contacted.
