Response: This depends on the requirements of your US State Board of Counseling or Therapy. Some states allow for a portion of the supervision requirement to be met via remote supervision (phone or videoconference). Some members of IMHPJ also offer supervision, however you will need to confirm that their qualifications meet the needs of your state board. Not all states allow interns to accrue hours working in a private practice setting. We recommend contacting your State Board directly to ask questions about internships conducted abroad. There are very few opportunities for internships or volunteering at agencies in Japan.
