What is the procedure to attain licensure and is the license portable from state to state?
There are several criteria in order to attain licensure in the state of Maine. In order to become an Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, (LCPC), one must finish a master’s degree program with no less than 45 credit hours, which typically becomes closer to 60 credit hours. Also, the candidate must have completed 900 hours of supervised internship. The candidate must then sit for the National Counselor Exam. Less course work is required to become a Licensed Professional Counselor, (LPC), than an LCPC. This includes completing 45 credit hours as well as 600 hours of supervised internship. There are some states in which Maine’s counseling licenses are reciprocal, though most states may differ a little in their requirements. Check with each state’s licensing boards for more specific information.
