What is the difference between the boundaries of professional competence and the scope of practice for LMHCs?
Our scope of practice is the the section of the licensure law that explains what LMHC’s are allowed to do by law if they are competent to do so. That means you can test, diagnose and treat, individuals, couples, families and groups if you have the education and training required. Only you will be able to determine if you can and will be competent to provide the services listed above. If you provide services for which you have not been adequately trained you could put your license and career in jeopardy.
