Yes, welcome to Atlanta Tristan! I look forward to meeting you at a future
GATA event.
We have learned that the professional licensing boards are somewhat
underfunded, and undergoing some imposed restrictions. Am not sure what the
new requirements for LPC are, or when they are going to be implemented, -- I
know this was discussed at last LPCA conference. The LPCA website (lpcaga.org)
has lots of info on this, and their executive director seems to be really
helpful. I just checked their site, and they have a link for licensure info,
and provide a variety of licensure consultations for a fee, including reviewing
your application before being submitted.
You are welcome to connect with me as well, at rainingatl@xxxxxxxxx.
Best wishes,
Jannah Goodell
