I am unclear about if Registered interns must work in the same building/practice as their qualified supervisor. If we can hire private supervisors like through Motivo for example, how does the supervision take place in the same building?
Hello, and thanks for the question. To clarify, it is not true that registered interns must work in the same building/practice as their qualified supervisor. However, interns who work in private practice settings only (not agency settings) must have a licensed mental health professional on the premises while they are meeting with the clients. The licensed professional does not necessarily need to be their supervisor. Here is the exact verbiage from Florida Statute 491.0046(4)(c): "A licensed mental health professional must be on the premises when clinical services are provided by a registered intern in a private practice setting." On an unrelated note, I should add that if an intern uses a resource like Motivo for webcam supervision, remember that only up to half of the intern's individual supervision hours may be completed via webcam rather than in person per Rule 64B4-2.002(3), which reads "The supervisor and intern may utilize face-to-face electronic methods (not telephone only communication) to conduct the supervisory sessions; however, the supervisor and intern must have in-person face-to-face contact for at least 50% of all of the interactions required in subsection (1)"
In my experience, I see interns in FL earning anywhere from as little as 30K a year to as much as 50K a year with most salaries between $40K and $47K a year. Pay is significantly better once an intern obtains full independent licensure, as many jobs will then start at around $50K a year. Many private practitioners with independent licensure earn $100K a year or more.
@@WhatsItLikeToBeEnlightened I'm glad it's helpful, but I want. you to know that a few things have changed since the video was recorded. I went ahead and added that information to the description of the video as an update.
What if I have Noncacrep ms in psych..not all the classes but have been doing therapy for 12 years. Would I be eligible for registered intern? I never did an internship or practicum during school but started therapy and have been doing therapy since?
It doesn't sound like it. You would likely need to take some additional coursework, perhaps as a non-degree-seeking student, in order to obtain your license. However, if you have already been licensed as a counselor in another state, there is another pathway for you that is much easier due to the "licensure by endorsement" process that was revised just last year (after this video was recorded). Email me at me@anorton.com if you want to chat more about it.
Hello. Today, I got caught up on some emails that came within the past week, and it doesn't look like I have any requests left related to this video. Please check your inbox and let me know if you are missing a response from me.

@@AaronNorton Has this changed post Covid? Can everything be done remotely now with supervisor in a different city and building?
great video... roughly speaking, what can a post-master's supervised intern expect to realistically be paid?

No. You would take the exam while you are an intern.
I sent an email with my info. I'm still waiting on a response.

@@AaronNorton Question? So, I would need to pass the exam before I register as an intern?
@@AaronNorton Thanks! I did receive your email this morning! Thanks again!
