ACA/AMHCA Update: Nevada Issues First LCPC Licenses

Congratulations!  Nevada has started issuing its first professional counseling licenses.  The state, which became the 49th state to license counselors back in June 2007, recently notified the first 3 Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors (LCPCs) that the Board of Examiners had accepted their applications for licensure.

The state has now passed the point of licensing counselors in theory and has begun licensing them in practice; a big win for the entire counseling profession.

The American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) would like to thank all the individuals who worked to make this possible and would like to extend its congratulations to the first LCPCs in Nevada.  Counselors who would like more information about gaining licensure in the state can visit http://marriage.state.nv.us/.
