Licensed Professional Counselor
Work with qualified, experienced mental health professionals committed to your wellbeing. Our Licensed Professional Counselors provide evidence-based therapy in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment.
What Is a Licensed Professional Counselor?
A Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) is a master’s-level mental health professional who has completed extensive graduate education, supervised clinical training, and rigorous state licensing requirements. LPCs are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, provide psychotherapy, and help people navigate life challenges.
The path to becoming an LPC typically includes a master’s degree in counseling (typically 60 credit hours), 2,000 to 4,000 hours of supervised clinical experience, passing the National Counselor Examination (NCE) or National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE), state-specific licensing requirements, and ongoing continuing education to maintain licensure.
When you work with an LPC at Better Lives Building Tribes, you’re working with a professional bound by ethical guidelines, professional standards, and legal requirements that protect your wellbeing and ensure quality care.
