Empowering Professionals through Excellence and Advocacy
We are North Carolina's Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors.
Our Mission - Licensed Clinical Counselors serve a vital role in the mental health and wellbeing of North Carolina's citizens. LCCNC works to advance the clinical mental health counseling profession by advocacy and professional excellence. LCCNC provides a voice for public policy, directs the activities of our professional lobbyist, and responds to the continuing education needs of LCMHCs in North Carolina.
Advocacy
LCCNC is the only association in North Carolina that advocates for the licensed clinical mental health counseling profession.
Since 1995, LCCNC has been the main proponent for nearly every legislative and policy initiative in North Carolina. We are proud of the 18 successful advocacy initiatives such as the 2009 LPC Act, First Commitment Evaluation, the Professional Corporations Act, Medicaid, and more.
LCCNC is the only NC organization that retains a professional lobbyist to work on our profession's behalf.
On September 22 the state legislature passed the state’s two-year budget for the 2023-2025 biennium.
Governor Cooper and DHHS Secretary Kody Kinsley announced on September 25 that Medicaid Expansion would launch on December 1.
