Many Application qualification and completion questions can be answered by reading the 262CMR section 2 Mass Regulations regarding LMHCs or downloading and beginning to complete the LMHC License Application Guide.
International Graduates should have their transcripts evaluated by WES or ECE before completing the Application. Your transcript must be sent from the graduate program directly to the evaluation service and the final educational evaluation must be sent directly to the Allied Board by the Evaluation service.
The license application is expensive, and it is even more expensive if your application is rejected and you have to reapply. This clinic, offered monthly, teaches you best practices to decrease the chances of application rejection. Do it right. Do it just once.

MaMHCA is proud of the dedication many of our members have made to give more to the profession.
In recognition of this dedication, MaMHCA is pleased to recognize our next Supervisor of the Month:MaMHCA is excited to recognize our next Supervisor of the Month: Daniel Newman, APRN, PMHNP-BC, LMHC, CCMHC, MaCCS
"I completed five years of intensive clinical supervision at the Faulk Center for Counseling, with a dual emphasis on Rogerian interventions and psychodynamic case conceptualization, following the attainment of a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL. My supervisory approach integrates these traditions, fostering a developmental alliance that encourages self-reflective practice, clinical attunement, and ethical fidelity in pre-licensure clinicians. I emphasize both empathic presence and unconscious process in case formulation and intervention. Clinically, I specialize in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, relational trauma, and personality structure through a psychodynamically informed, humanistic lens. I have extensive experience working with adults and geriatrics, especially with regard to crisis counseling. My work is informed by a commitment to culturally responsive care and collaborative therapeutic engagement.
My dual credentials as both a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner provides unique cross-disciplinary expertise in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. I offer an integrative supervision approach grounded in Rogerian and psychodynamic principles, emphasizing clinical curiosity, ethical sensitivity, and development of effective and efficient treatment techniques. My goal is cultivating a supportive yet challenging environment where emerging clinicians develop into reflective, authentic practitioners."
