What graduates say

From Texas counselors who completed the 40-Hour Supervisor Certification

Exceeded my expectations

Debra Ellis, LPC-S

Dr. Pickens LPC 40-hour course exceeded my expectations for the course. Dr. Pickens' shared real time examples, resources, videos, handouts that are helpful forms that will help me build my resources and knowledge as an LPC-S.

Social justice woven in

Bri Liu, LPC-S

We need more courses like this taught by woman of color to push back on how the field has not supported BIPOC therapists or clients… I loved the way that you wove in the social justice and need for decolonized spaces and affirmed our experiences without necessarily lecturing.

Prepares clinicians to supervise

Alton R. McCallum, LPC-S

Dr. Pickens' training is very insightful and prepares clinicians to be supervisors. Her intelligence, expertise and knowledge are wonderful gifts to the field of counseling.

More prepared

Ebony M. Bonds-Nickerson, LPC-S

Dr. Megan did an awesome job with course material and examples. I feel more prepared from both the home study and interactive portion of this course.

Frequently asked questions

Questions? Email [email protected]

  • Does this course meet the Texas requirements for supervisor status?

    Yes. It covers all five content areas BHEC requires for LPC-S and LMFT-S training, and it is taught by a full LPC-S. You submit your supervisor application to BHEC yourself after you finish.

  • Is it for LMFTs too?

    Yes. LMFT content runs throughout, including Chapter 801 rules and the AAMFT Code of Ethics.

  • How long do I have?

    The Texas rules require you to finish all coursework within 90 days, so your access is set to match.

  • Is the live seminar required?

    No. The 40 required hours are self-paced. The 6-hour seminar is an optional bonus for practice and does not count toward the 40 hours.

  • Where is the live seminar?

    On Zoom. If two or more participants in a cohort want to meet in person, we offer an in-person session in the DFW area instead.

  • When do I get my certificate?

    After you pass all seven module quizzes, submit your assignments, and complete the training evaluation.

  • Can I pay in installments?

    Yes. The Hybrid option can be split into two payments.

  • What is your refund policy?

    You can request a full refund within 7 days of purchase if you have not opened any lesson. Email [email protected] to request it. Once a lesson has been opened, or after 7 days, all sales are final. If you need to move your live seminar date, your first reschedule is $150; after that, rescheduling is the full seminar price of $295. See our Terms (drmeganpickens.thinkific.com/pages/terms) for details.

  • Is there an all in-person option?
