They must complete at least 3,000 hours of supervised postgraduate experience for a minimum of 18 months, which includes at least 1,500 hours of direct client contact. Therapists must get a passing score on the Texas Jurisprudence Exam and the National Counselor Examination for Licensure and Certification (NCELC).
