  • The Counseling Compact allows eligible licensed counselors an alternative method for providing services in other member states.

As of July 1, 2024

  • All applicants for the Behavioral Health Health and Human Services who are in their last semester of their program may apply to test early for their national exam. Applicants are required to submit their application for licensure to our office, and provide a letter of good standing. Applicants once approved, will be given a one year approval to test. This exam approval does not include a temporary permit.
  • Behavioral Health Health and Human Services applicants  may now complete up to 100% of their supervision in a virtual setting. Any virtual supervision is required to meet the definition of “virtual supervision.” Virtual supervision must be completed under a qualified supervisor through an electronic platform that provides for synchronous visual and audio interaction in real time, and which is compliant with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Virtual supervision does not include telephone calls, electronic mail, or text messages.
