The path to becoming a licensed professional counselor can feel overwhelming, especially given the multi-stage requirements, multi-year timelines, and differences across state boards.

Whether you are just beginning your graduate program, preparing to sit for the NCE or NCMHCE, or evaluating supervision options, this webinar will provide practical guidance to help you navigate the process with confidence.
