Identify how you plan to learn and demonstrate the School of Counseling’s Professional Dispositions throughout the training program.
Identify associations you plan on joining (e.g., American Counseling Association, American School Counseling Association, your state counseling association. American Mental Health Counselors Association, or other organizations related to your specialization), what divisions you plan to join, and when you plan to join. Identify potential struggles or challenges you might encounter related to the intersection of your personal and academic life; what areas of your personal life do you feel might create barriers to your success academically and professionally? Describe how you anticipate these stressors might impact your academic career and discuss how you will manage those factors successfully using self-care strategies. Include at least two strategies you could use to help manage stress and positively impact your overall wellness.
You will likely need at least three paragraphs to address all of these questions. Feel free to use more levels of headings to help the flow of this section. This will help you separate the paper into sections to address the various prompts to be included in the body of the text. A secondary benefit of using headings is that they also help you separate your main ideas. Please see pages 62–63 in the APA 6th edition manual for a written explanation, as well as pages 41–51 for visual examples. Or, you could reference The Walden University Writing Center for the APA levels of heading presentation from the Writing Center.

All Other Counseling Students: Credentialing Skill Development Activity (Section 2)
There are two primary types of post-graduation credentials in the counseling profession—licenses and certifications. Both types of post-graduation credentials are extremely important in the counseling field. Analyzing licensing and certification rules, regulations, and laws is a skill set necessary for you to achieve your professional post-graduation goals. As counselor educators, we are responsible for assisting students in gaining the practical skills to analyze rules, laws, and regulations. It is the licensing boards’, credentialing boards’, and your responsibility to use your analytical skills to support achieving your professional post-degree goals. We will help you find the information, but you will have to determine your professional path. It is important to note there is variability between states regarding licensure requirements.

Website and contact information for state licensure boards can be accessed via the following link available through the American Counseling Association: http://www.counseling.org/knowledge-center/licensure-requirements/state-professional-counselor-licensure-boards.
Licensure Credential:
The most common title for a licensed counselor is Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), although there are 14 other titles used across the United States. These licenses may be entitled Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor (LPMHC), among other titles.
Some states have tiered licensure. Think of this as similar to the process when you learned to drive. Most of you spent a year with a learner’s permit, under which you could only drive a car with a licensed adult in the front passenger seat. After you had a year of supervised driving experience, you were able to have a license for which you could drive independently. Most states with tiered licensures are structured in the same way—you practice under the supervision of a board-approved licensed counselor for a set period of time before you are able to independently practice. However, some states have more than two levels, and some states do not have tiered licensure. Furthermore, some states require that counseling students register as an intern during their practicum and internship. You will need to know you state licensing requirements, and it is recommended that you start researching them as you create your professional development plan.
