Best places to become an LPC in Texas?
November 3, 2009 11:19 AM Subscribe
I'd like to become a licensed professional counselor in Texas. How do I figure out what the best schools are?
My bachelor's degree is in English, not psychology or a related field, so this is a bit of a change of field and I could use some pointers. For LMFT licensure, I can at least find a list of COAMFTE accredited programs here, but I haven't found a starting point like that for LPC training.
Where does that list exist? What other resources are there for filtering through graduate counseling programs? Do you have a personal recommendation?
Thanks!

Best answer: CACREP is the main accrediting body for counseling programs in the US. They have a list of schools on their website. Other schools have counseling programs but they may not be CACREP accredited (avoid these if possible). Also, the ACA (American Counseling Association) is a great resource. Good luck!
