Lgpc Lcpc Form PDF Details

Navigating the path from a Maryland Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) to becoming a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) involves a meticulous application process, as outlined by Governor Larry Hogan, Lt. Governor Boyd K. Rutherford, and Secretary Robert R. Neall. This transition isn't merely a step up in credentials but a significant leap forward in a counselor's professional journey, demanding a detailed and well-documented submission. Candidates must first ensure they hold an active LGPC license in good standing before tackling the application. The importance of retaining copies of all submitted documents cannot be overstressed, as they become pivotal in cases of query or clarification but will not be returned. The process has no shortcuts; every form must be thoroughly filled, signed, and dated, with the requisite fee of $350, which is strictly non-refundable and non-transferable, prepared for the Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists. Additionally, this journey entails a fresh criminal history record check (CHRC), regardless of previous submissions during the LGPC application phase, reflecting the board's commitment to maintaining standards of safety and professionalism. The educational prerequisites are stringent, necessitating a minimum of a master's degree with specific coursework, accompanied by a demanding supervised clinical experience. Furthermore, passing the National Counselors Exam (NCE) and the Maryland Law Assessment represents critical milestones in this process. The application also sensitively handles service members and veterans, displaying an inclusive approach toward those serving or who have served. Applicants must also navigate questions regarding any past disciplinary actions or criminal convictions, ensuring transparency and accountability. This comprehensive and detailed approach underscores Maryland's dedication to ensuring its counselors are not only well-educated but ethically sound and legally compliant, setting a high bar for professional counseling standards within the state.
