Letters from Your LeadershipBY SANDRA MOLLE, LPC, BCN - President - [email protected]
Hello NVLPC Members,
This month we celebrate Spring and Counseling Awareness Month (CAM), as designated by the American Counseling Association. I am honored to be a part of such a noble profession and to work among your ranks. I thank all of you for your fine work and dedication to the field of counseling.
This year’s campaign for CAM, “Train Your Brain With Counseling,” is near and dear to my heart. Although I am a certified neurofeedback provider, I have come to appreciate that, although helping clients train their brains with the use of technology can be quite effective for some, the simplest and most available resource for training our brains is our own brains – specifically the prefrontal cortex, sometimes referred to as our “control panel.”
Viktor Frankl, the Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a holocaust survivor, noted in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, the following: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
When that space is overwhelmed by our right hemisphere, the amygdala-driven brain, we often see mood-dependent behaviors. The brain goes on auto-pilot and habits get entrenched. How often do we say to ourselves, “Why do I keep doing that?”
In order for us to change our patterns, we need to have access to the control panel. This requires mindful practice of focusing on what we choose to focus on, on purpose, over and over and over. The more we practice being aware of what we are thinking, feeling, sensing, and doing, the more power we will have in that space to choose our responses.
Kindly, Sandra Molle, LPC NVLPC President

Student Essay – Equine Therapy BY LAURA ROMINE
I always had an undying passion for horses. Growing up on a Berkshire farm I can quickly recall my first four-legged transport that stood patiently while I struggled to get in the saddle from what experienced equestrians call “the wrong side of the horse.” However, for me there was never anything more right and “Beau” did not care what side I was on…literally. Growing up in rural America I vicariously experienced the healing power of animals. Cats, bunnies, dogs, orphaned raccoons and squirrels were always in large supply. They all touch our hearts in some way, yet, it was a horse that looked deep into my soul and to heal what was broken.
While stationed in Kodiak, Alaska, an unsuspected island horse entered my life in need of rescuing. Little did I know God was laying a foundation. As a rookie trainer, I quickly realized how fast one is reduced to even footing exposing what you wished no one else to see. When I began a second career, I never imagined I would end up doing what I most cherished. Moving from the classroom to the arena was easy for me and I never cease being amazed at horses who tune into hearts with all who encounter them… invited or not. This therapy was effective. Employing the horse went deeper, was more open, and refreshingly “raw.” When your heart needs to be unlocked, and your soul accessed, sometimes therapists cannot find the right key.
As a riding and therapeutic instructor, countless times I witnessed healing. Five years ago, I myself was in desperate need of staying connected after a trauma and a herd of horses went to work on me. I knew that I had to find out what was so positive and powerful in this intervention and share it. I had always known below the surface that animals heal; yet, now I became passionate about how horse and client interact. Studies reveal positive results for a wide range of clients and abilities. Conceptualizing treatments, specifically with horses, reveal therapeutic interactions providing a catalyst for discussion whether through metaphoric symbolism or links to life lessons, verbal and non-verbal. Whether you are targeting children or adults, equine therapy facilitates emotional, psychological and physical integration for those who are resistant or are stuck in the counseling process.
A new sense of mastery develops through relational attunement with a horse. The role of the equine therapist relies on a selection of interventions ranging from equine assisted learning models, developmental therapeutic riding, or the more nuanced equine assisted psychotherapy. In all forms, the counselor carefully employs the horse, which strengthens and petitions the focus of our work. In equine assisted psychotherapy, the professional develops unique programs that help transform the lives of their clients evolving a new way of presence resonating upon relational aspects of the horse. Through intuitive guidance in awareness, skills for specific behaviors or experimenting on a new way of being emerge. It never ceases to amaze me how these animals can touch the hardest to reach clients by just “being,” cascading every level mentally, emotionally and physically.
Personally having experienced and witnessed this unconditional regard, I am a true believer. I hope to utilize equine assisted counseling to assist youth, families, victims of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, attachment and relational problems, among others. There is something to be said for the anonymous quote:
“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a person.”

The Supervision CornerBY SHARON WATSON - Supervision Chair - [email protected]
MORE TIDBITS
I’m continuing this month with more “bits” of information regarding Virginia Board of Counseling changes to know for your license in general as well as information from the Law and Ethics in Counseling Conference 2017 I attended in New Orleans this past February that are specific to supervision and residency. This article, as well as the others written for the newsletter are written several weeks before the publication of our newsletter, so by the time this is published you may already be aware of some of the changes, but if not, here we go...
#1. Surprise! Just when you’ve printed off the new set of LPC regulations that went into effect February 8, 2017 so you’d have them at hand…all of a sudden there is now an even newer set of regulations dated March 9, 2017. What? And as of the date I’m writing this, there is no indication on the Virginia Board of Counseling Homepage of there being a new set of regs and no explanation of what the changes are from February to March.
So in case the Board doesn’t explain the changes, I decided to go through the 2 documents line by line to see what they were. I could see from the word count that there are an additional 70 words in the newest regs. On page 11 in the section “18VAC115-20-105. Continued competency requirements for renewal of a license” under the section “A.” the words “After July 1, 2004” were removed and a new section was added:
“E. Up to two hours of the 20 hours required for annual renewal may be satisfied through delivery of counseling services, without compensation, to low-income individuals receiving health services through a local health department or a free clinic organized in whole or primarily for the delivery of those services. One hour of continuing education may be credited for three hours of providing such volunteer services, as documented by the health department or free clinic.”
#2. There’s more: the LMFT and LSATP regulations were also updated as of March 9, 2017, as well. Again, with no explanation of the changes on the Board Homepage at the time of this writing. I have not had an opportunity to compare the previous regulations with the new set so if they apply to you, be sure to read them so you are aware of any changes.
#3. At the Ethics conference I attended 5 presentations (5 hours) of ethics and legal issues specifically related to supervision. Most of that time was related to boundary issues as well as ethical conduct in the provision of supervision and an especially informative presentation on the topic of protecting client PHI in virtual supervision. Hopefully you are aware that both Skype and FaceTime are NOT HIPAA compliant websites and neither of the entities that own those venues will sign a BAA, so it’s very important to not share any client PHI while doing virtual supervision. And as a side note, although it is no longer on the VA Board that I can find, at one time there was a notation about supervision being allowed virtually and one example given was “Skype” if no PHI was discussed. So, does everyone remember exactly what PHI is? Here is a list from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_health_information):
1. Names2. All geographical identifiers smaller than a state, except for the initial three digits of a
zip code...[see website for more about this]3. Dates (other than year) directly related to an individual4. Phone numbers5. Fax numbers6. Email addresses7. Social Security numbers Continued on page 4

Device identifiers and serial numbers;14. Web Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)15. Internet Protocol (IP) address numbers16. Biometric identifiers, including finger, retinal and voice prints17. Full face photographic images and any comparable images18. Any other unique identifying number, characteristic, or code except the unique code
assigned by the investigator to code the data
In next month’s newsletter, I plan to follow-up with more information about virtual supervision issues and I’ll discuss a free as well as low-cost options for HIPAA compliant sites for the provision of supervision.
If you have any questions about the recent changes in the Regulations or any other supervision topics, I’m happy to try to help decipher the requirements, but remember, the definitive answers always lie with the VA Board regulations, the Code of Virginia (state laws), and the information on the VA Board website and forms. Also, please email me if you find these articles helpful so I’ll know whether or not to continue with similar topics or if there’s a need for other issues to be explored. You can email me at [email protected].

About the Event: Essentially, therapeutic change and progress are a self-healing process in which clients gain increased awareness, freedom to choose what they focus on, how they react, and their behaviors. With simplicity and clarity, the self-help Choice-Cube Method helps train clients to do just that. Use of the method’s checklists, simple tools for choice, and four dependable steps trains clients step-by-step to recognize automatic, mindless negative life patterns and replace them with healthier ones. This presentation is for you if you want a reliable, researched, and time-tested framework for choice and change–one that promotes clients’ self-understanding, willingness to take responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and prepares them to live healthier, more balanced lives able to be their best selves on their worst days.
• Understand that clients have two selves: a subconsciously driven negative “shadow self ” and a conscious “healthy best self.”
• List the four inward reactions: body sensations, emotions, mind, will/desires of both the shadow self and the healthy best self.
• Describe the Victim-Victimizer Swing and how this affects the shadow self.
• Describe how the Choice-Cube Method’s checklists, tools, and steps can help clients better manage each of their four inward reactions: body sensations, emotions, mind, will/desires.
