LPC · DOT-Qualified Substance Abuse Professional

Meet Marsha Quinlan, LPC, SAP

Licensed Professional Counselor and DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional serving Pennsylvania workers and their employers. Confidential, compliant, and focused on getting you back to duty cleanly.

Credentials & qualifications

Under 49 CFR §40.281, only certain licensed clinicians who complete DOT-specific qualification training, pass a knowledge exam, and keep up ongoing continuing education may serve as a Substance Abuse Professional. Here are Marsha Quinlan's qualifications:

  • Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
  • DOT-qualified Substance Abuse Professional under 49 CFR §40.281 (required SAP training, qualification exam, and continuing education)

Experience

  • Return-to-duty SAP evaluations for FMCSA, FAA, FTA, FRA, and PHMSA-covered employees
  • FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse reporting for CDL drivers
  • Coordination with employer DERs and Consortium / Third-Party Administrators (C/TPAs)
  • Confidential clinical assessment for safety-sensitive workers across Pennsylvania

Why credentials matter

If your SAP evaluation is performed by someone who does not meet the §40.281 qualification standards, the entire process is invalid — and you cannot legally return to safety-sensitive duty. Asking about credentials is fair, expected, and encouraged.
