Supervision for your team

Outside clinical supervision for your whole team

Colorado LPC Supervision, part of My Denver Therapy, provides outside clinical supervision for Colorado agencies and group practices with LPCCs, MFTCs or ADDCs on staff. We can run a supervision group just for your team, with pricing set by agreement. We’re doing this now for a few Colorado organizations.

When agencies bring in a supervisor

When does outside supervision make sense for a team?

Organizations usually call us in one of these situations:

  • You don’t have a qualified supervisor on staff.
  • Your clinical supervisor left, and candidates still need hours.
  • Your supervisors are stretched too thin to give candidates enough time.
  • You’ve hired a candidate whose license type doesn’t match your supervisors.
  • You want to offer supervision as a benefit that helps you recruit and keep staff.
  • Your team wants a place to bring cases to someone outside the chain of command.
Team supervision groups

How does supervision for your team work?

  What to expect
Who’s in the group Staff from your organization only
Group size 10 or fewer
Format Online
License types LPCCs, MFTCs and ADDCs, matched to a qualified supervisor
Pricing Set by agreement, based on your team and how much supervision you need

Getting started usually looks like this:

  1. Tell us how many candidates you have, their license types and how many hours they need.
  2. We match your team with a supervisor and talk through scheduling.
  3. We put a written agreement in place that covers roles, client information and hour tracking.
  4. Your group begins, and we track the hours we supervise.
Group hours and individual hours

Can group supervision cover all of a candidate's hours?

Not for LPCCs or MFTCs. At the 2,000-hour minimum, each needs 100 supervision hours, and at least 50 must be individual.

  • Up to 50 hours can be group for an MFTC, or group or triadic for an LPCC. Group means 10 or fewer supervisees.
  • Your organization can provide the individual hours, or we can.
  • Addiction counselor candidates work under different rules, covered on our LAC supervision page.

See the LPC requirements and LMFT requirements for the details.

Roles and responsibilities

Who does what when supervision is outside your organization?

Colorado’s rules allow more than one supervisor. It helps to agree on these points up front:

Area What to settle
Clinical and administrative roles The rule treats these separately. We provide clinical supervision, and you keep performance reviews and personnel decisions.
Client knowledge The supervisor needs sufficient knowledge of all clients they supervise, so decide which clients are covered and how information will be shared.
Clinical decisions Under the LPC and MFT rules, decisions that call for a licensed clinician’s judgment are made with the approved supervisor, including fees and billing procedures. Your agreement should say how that works day to day.
Hours and forms DORA’s LPC and LMFT forms call for one form for each supervisor and place of employment. Each supervisor signs only for what they directed.
Medicaid and insurance oversight

Does this cover Medicaid or insurance oversight?

Medicaid oversight is a separate requirement from DORA supervision. Under the state’s January 2026 guidance, a Rendering Provider must be licensed, enrolled with Health First Colorado and listed on the claim. That oversight is narrower than DORA or Behavioral Health Administration supervision. Oversight can be met during clinical supervision when the same person fills both roles. If you bill Medicaid, tell us at the start so we can sort out who handles what. Commercial insurers set their own policies. Colorado’s Division of Insurance survey for 2023 found 11 of 18 companies allowed billing for pre-licensed candidates under a licensed provider’s supervision, so check each plan you work with.

Agency supervision FAQ

Common questions from agencies and practices

Does an outside supervisor have to work for our organization?

The Colorado LPC and MFT rules we reviewed allow more than one supervisor and don’t say a supervisor must be employed by the same organization. Check your payer contracts and internal policies too.

Can one group include different license types?

Yes. Most of our groups mix license types, and each candidate needs a supervisor who qualifies for their license.

Who pays for supervision?

That’s up to you and your staff. Some organizations cover it as a benefit, and others share the cost. We’ll work out the arrangement in your agreement.

Can individual staff members join without the organization?

Yes. Candidates can join our online groups or individual supervision on their own at our standard rates.
