| | 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. |
