| | Professional Counselor Licensing and Disciplinary Board |
| | The Professional Counselor and Clinical Professional Counselor Licensing Act was signed |
| | into law in 1992. Licensed professional counselors provide services in the areas of social, |
| | emotional, educational and career testing and evaluation; assistance coping with life issues |
| | that include relationships, conflicts, problem solving, and decision making; developmental |
| | concerns; and research. The statute also provides licensure as a clinical professional |
| | counselor allowing for application of clinical counseling theory and techniques to prevent |
| | and alleviate mental and emotional disorders and psychopathology and to promote optimal |
| | mental health, rehabilitation, treatment, testing, assessment and evaluation. The Board is |
| | made up of seven members appointed by the Secretary consisting of two members licensed |
| | solely as professional counselors, three members licensed solely as clinical professional |
| | counselors, one full-time faculty member teaching professional counseling at the college |
| | level, and one public member. The Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Secretary |
| | and makes recommendations on matters relating to approving graduate counseling, |
| | rehabilitation counseling, psychology and related programs, matters relating to continuing |
| | education, and matters of professional performance and conduct. |
