WHAT IS A LPC ASSOCIATE? 

​

An LPC-Associate is a counseling professional who has completed a master's degree in counseling or a related field from an accredited program and has passed the National Counselor Examination (NCE), but is still in the process of completing the required supervised clinical experience hours to become a fully licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. Under the regulations of the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, LPC-Associates work under the supervision of a board-approved LPC-Supervisor while accumulating the necessary 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience. During this time, they can provide counseling services in various settings such as mental health clinics, private practices, or community organizations. LPC-Associates often specialize in areas like individual counseling, couples therapy, or substance abuse treatment, gaining valuable hands-on experience while working towards full LPC licensurer.
