Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors
![]() Welcome to the home page of the board that licenses and regulates Licensed Professional Counselors in Texas. This website contains information about Licensed Professional Counselors including license requirements, how to file a complaint, how to contact our office, and more. Attention: LPC Interns and LPC Supervisors: If the status of your supervisor license shows Null and Void please search your regular license for your supervisor status. It will show your supervisor status as current along with your interns that you are supervising. Several rule changes will become effective on September 1, 2009 that impact interns and supervisors. Please be aware of the following important information. LPC Interns If you have not completed your 3,000 hours of post graduate supervised experience within the 5-year time frame, you must reapply for a new LPC-Intern license and you must meet the current rules that are in effect at the time you reapply, including retaking the NCE exam. The NCE exam score is valid for 5 years. Supervisors When submitting a supervisor agreement form to be approved, the LPC-Intern must include a copy of the proposed supervisor’s wallet card as proof that the intern is knowledgeable of the supervisor’s license expiration date. Failure to submit the copy of the card will delay the approval of that supervisor and/or site. Supervisors are strongly encouraged to visit the website and verify the interns associated with your name. To do this, go to www.dshs.state.tx.us/counselor and select the link titled “Find A Licensee”, select “Live Search”, select “Public Search” and proceed with the search options presented. If the information is incorrect, please fax or e-mail any corrections or updates. All interns and supervisors are encouraged to review the rule changes that become effective September 1, 2009. These changes may be reviewed, downloaded, or printed at our website by selecting the link titled “Rules/Regulations”. If you have questions regarding this notice or the rule changes, please contact our office. Sincerely,
Last Updated October 2, 2009
