About The Position

NOCD is seeking independently licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHC) and Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) in New York who are on the pathway to earning their Diagnostic Privilege (Dx P) but have not yet completed the full 2,000 hours of supervised experience required by New York State. This role is designed for candidates who already qualify for the Diagnostic Privilege in every respect except the completion of supervised hours.
