Mental Health Professional needs info (Raleigh: moving to, licensed, association)

[shafawn]

I am interested in moving to the Raleigh area in the future. I am currently a licensed professional counselor mental health service provider. LPC, MHSP. I've been trying to find out the licensing qualifications for North Carolina and although I'm sure I could find it eventually, it is quite time consuming. So I thought maybe someone on this forum could give me the answer quicker. Does NC reconize LPC, or prefer LMFT? My undergranduate work is in psychology, masters is in counseling with a focus in marriage and family. I have over 20 years experience in the field, 10 years in supervisory position and am currently clinical director over a large in-home counseling program. Any information would be helpful, or direct me to a website that covers this information for NC. Thank you!

LPC is a recognized certification or whatever. If you can, avoid the NC Psychology Board - they are nazis.

Thanks so much!

It is not that hard to find information. Search for Licensed Professional Counselor NC licensing board and it will come up.

These are also interesting: Mental Health Association in North Carolina, Inc. | Homepage and triangle.com | Share.

Best of luck!

Hi,

I noticed on this post from a couple years back you mentioned you had a list of specific mental health agencies. I am an LCSW looking to move to the Raleigh area. Do you still have a list of the agency names?

Thanks a lot in advance!

That person has only posted here twice, so probably doesn't check the boards often. I'd recommend sending them a direct message by clicking on their user name and selecting direct message on the drop down.

Hopefully they still use the same email address and you could get into touch with them that way.
