What is a Licensed Professional Counselor?
In
the state of Georgia of the United States of America there are certain
requirements that an individual must be licensed by the
State in order to practice as a licensed professional counselor. Those
requirements are:
A Masters degree in a counseling related field.
A year's internship under direct supervision of a licensed
professional.
After your internship, an additional 3 years of counseling practice
with ongoing supervision.
Upon 3 years experience, a licensing test is administered and upon
successful completion, an individual is granted their license.
The process takes at least 3 years to accomplish, even after a
Master's degree.
As you can see, the process is very through and demanding. To obtain
such a license requires extensive study and dedication. When it comes to
your unique situation, wouldn't you want to
work with an expert that
has this level of training?
