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.
