Can a Felon be a Licensed Counselor?
My name is Kerry and I came across a blog for felons. My boyfriend is currently in prison. He wants to go to school upon being released to be a counselor for inner city teens. Is it possible to obtain a license in counseling being a convicted felony? I'm currently applying for grad school to get my LPCC in mental health and we're looking to start our own private practice. I you can give me some information that will truly be appreciated.
Thank you,
Kerry
Hello Kerry,
The best suggestion I can give you and your husband is to contact the medical licensing board in your state. I know of felons who have jobs as certified counselors so I guess it depends on the state and the nature of the felony. If you find out that you can be licensed, speak to a counselor. Learn what it takes to get started. If possible, volunteer in a treatment center to get a feel for working with people who have substance issues.
I hope this helps.
