we go to other counselors, generally. although some do specifically specialize in counseling counselors, often who have quite a bit more experience and act as supervisors

supervision in counseling is odd. it's ethically obligated but not enforced. continuing education in many areas is loosely enforced too. this leads to other critiques about the field becoming, for lack of a better term, crappier. there are and (hopefully) always will be inspired, ethical, and passionate clinicians but there are also a lot of lazy ones who just burn through the checkpoints so they can bill insurance or clients $130/hr. Once they get licensed no one will check to make sure they do CEUs (depending on state), no one will check to make sure they consult with supervision for outside feedback, etc

it's one of those "we will self regulate" things but I don't know how well the field self regulates
