NSRP has a document on supervision scenarios that I would draw your attention to. And for that matter, please feel free to share this with information anyone you feel it would be helpful to. Here is the URL:
https://www.ns-rp.ca/downloads/Supervision_Scenarios.pdf nThe above referenced document contains a section relating to “Supervision of practitioners from another occupation”. This would likely apply in this case, or one of the other scenarios outlined would cover the situation.
As you can see, the NSRP would accept that the member of the other profession is being supervised by a psychologist, but the NSRP would not be of the view that the member of the other profession is providing psychological services. Rather, in this case, we would consider the direct services to involve the practice of marriage and family therapy.
One other important point made in the document is the following:Billing must not be underwritten in a way that gives the impression that a registrant provided the service when this is not the case (NSRP Co-signing of Receipts Statement, 1993). Billing to insurance companies or third party payers must clearly state the qualifications of the provider and state the services being provided. Through the informed consent process, clients must be fully informed of the qualifications of the person(s) providing the services and the services being provided.
