APCC

An Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) is a mental health professional who has completed the educational requirements, including a master's degree in counseling or a related field. The "Associate" designation indicates that they are in the process of gaining the supervised clinical experience required to become a fully Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).

Working under the guidance of a fully licensed supervisor, an APCC is authorized to provide a variety of mental health services, such as:

• Individual counseling

• Group therapy

• Assessment and diagnosis

• Crisis intervention

Though they are completing their state-mandated supervised hours, APCCs are trained professionals capable of offering valuable therapeutic services. They adhere to the same ethical guidelines and are subject to the same oversight as fully licensed counselors to ensure quality care.

As a patient, choosing to work with an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor means you'll receive care from a qualified professional committed to their continuing education and the well-being of their clients. They offer a high standard of care, often with the added benefit of supervision from a seasoned professional in the field.

The "Associate" designation signifies a dedicated individual actively advancing their professional skills and competencies, providing you with up-to-date, adequate mental health support.
