The bill creates definitions and provisions for qualified treatment trainees to provide psychotherapy in outpatient mental health clinics under supervision.

  • 51.42 (7) (b)

    Allow qualified treatment trainees, as defined in s. 457.01 (8r), and persons with a graduate degree from an accredited institution in psychology, counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, nursing, or a closely related field who have submitted an application for a training license under s. 457.09, 457.11, or 457.13 within the previous year but have not yet been granted a training license to provide psychotherapy to patients through an outpatient mental health clinic certified by the department while under clinical supervision as defined by the department by rule.

    This allows qualified treatment trainees and applicants for a training license to provide psychotherapy in outpatient clinics while supervised.

  • 457.01 (8r)

    “Qualified treatment trainee” means either of the following: (a) A graduate student who is enrolled in an accredited institution in psychology, counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, nursing, or a closely related field.

    This defines a qualified treatment trainee and includes graduate students and graduates who haven't completed required supervised training.

  • 457.03 (4)

    Upon the advice of the social worker section, marriage and family section, and professional counselor section, promulgate rules establishing standards of conduct for qualified treatment trainees to engage in psychotherapy through an outpatient mental health clinic certified by the department of health services including a requirement that qualified treatment trainees be supervised while engaging in psychotherapy.

    This mandates the creation of rules for conduct and supervision of qualified treatment trainees providing psychotherapy.

  • 457.035 (3)

    The individual is a qualified treatment trainee and the individual engages in psychotherapy through an outpatient mental health clinic certified by the department of health services while supervised as provided by the examining board by rule.
