Part unconfirmed Read on October 10, 2026
Read from the board’s own source. What follows was read on October 10, 2026 in the source named on this page. Rules change, and the board decides: confirm before you rely on it.
- The board’s page speaks of "each person holding a license" without naming the associate license, so only the clinical counselor license is listed here.
