Which of the following is listed as a professional who may supervise?

• A. Advance Practice Addiction Counselor
• B. Licensed Professional Counselor
• C. Licensed Clinical Social Worker
• D. Pharmacist

Answer: (A)

In addiction counseling, who may supervise is tied to credentials that explicitly authorize supervision in addiction services. The advanced practice addiction counselor designation signals both high-level clinical skill in treating substance use disorders and formal authority to supervise other counselors and interns. That combination is what the exam expects for a supervisor in this field, making it the best choice.

Licensed professional counselor and licensed clinical social worker are indeed qualified mental health professionals who can supervise in many settings, but the item is focusing on the credential specifically listed for supervising within addiction services. A pharmacist, while a healthcare professional, is not typically designated to supervise addiction counseling within the clinical supervision framework.
