How many hours does an associate need?

All three licenses need 3,000 supervised hours over at least 104 supervised weeks. LMFT and LPCC need at least 1,750 clinical hours; LCSW needs 2,000.

I already have hundreds of hours. Do I start over?

No. Upload the Board forms you have, or photos of paper logs, and Confirm reads the hours in. You check everything before it is saved.

Does my supervisor need a Confirm account?

No. They can review and sign from an emailed link. A free account adds a dashboard and a Monday summary.
