Section 310:400-11-3 - Supervisor qualifications

(a) In order to be approved as a supervisor for therapists seeking MFT licensure, an individual must:

(1) be an American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy approved Supervisor familiar with Oklahoma LMFT Act and Rules duly promulgated, or

(2) be an LMFT

(A) with two (2) years of experience in marital and family therapy beyond the number of years of experience required for licensure and

(B) who has successfully completed a graduate course in therapist supervision (at least 45 contact hours) or equivalent course of study acceptable to the Department. This equivalent course of study should consist of workshops in marriage and family therapy supervision in combination with directed study of the marriage and family therapy supervision literature. Fifteen (15) of the 45 clock hours should be in a class or workshop format which includes a minimum of four supervisors-in-training; the other 30 clock hours should be reserved for the directed study. Directed study must be approved and monitored by an Approved Supervisor.

(b) Approved LMFT Supervisors are required to complete a minimum of three (3) clock hours, every three (3) years, of continuing education in therapy supervision specific to Oklahoma law provided by the LMFT Advisory Board, or its designee. Approved Supervisor designation will not be renewed until the continuing education requirement for each missed renewal period is met.

(c) If continuing education requirement is not met within six (6) years of expiration, approved supervisor status will be permanently expired and the LMFT must re-apply and meet all requirements, including passing the LMFT Oral Exam, in this Subchapter to become an approved supervisor.

(d) An active approved supervisor may request inactive status by submitting a request in writing to the Department. An inactive approved supervisor shall not provide any activities described in Subchapter 11 of this Chapter.

(e) An inactive approved supervisor may reactivate by submitting the required therapy supervision continuing education due by the end of the current renewal period. If approved supervisor status has been inactive for three (3) or more years, the supervisor must retake and pass the LMFT Oral Exam before approved status is reinstated.

(f) An active approved supervisor status may be retired by informing the Department in writing. Retired approved supervisor status shall not be reinstated but does not prevent a person from applying for approved supervisor status at a future date.

(g) No re-application for a revoked approved supervisor status, as a result of administrative proceeding, shall be considered for a period of five (5) years following the revocation.
