What does NY State recognize as a qualified setting for obtaining the experience for a LCSW license? What criteria must be met?
• A LMSWs supervised clinical experience must be acquired in a setting that is either licensed by New York State (NYS) to provide mental health services or in another setting legally approved to offer mental health services. • If the LMSW is employed by a licensed mental health professional (NYS LCSW, NYS licensed clinical psychologist, NYS licensed psychiatrist) in solo practice, supervised clinical experience may count towards the LCSW licensure. Qualifying Criteria: • The qualifying candidate must be employed by the facility in which clinical social work is provided. • The facility must be authorized to provide clinical social work as defined within the scope of practice. Update: The State Department of Education (SED) is considering legislation that would exempt public and non-profit human service providers from needing to obtain certificates of operation that specifically reflect clinical practice in the future. If the legislation is passed, it would clear up existing ambiguities
