Counselor License Requirements

In choosing to pursue a Licensed Professional Counselor education, one of the worthwhile challenges is in discovering what area of counselor education appeals to you in the long run, and what sorts of certification you need to get there. We are here to help.

Most counseling professions require at least the minimum education of a Master’s degree, post degree supervised clinical experience, and passing of the National Counselor Examination (or an equivalent exam recognized by the state in which you might be practicing). All states, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, require licensure for Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC’s).
