Limited Licensed Professional Counselor (LLPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC):
State licensure of counselors in Michigan went into effect on January 1, 1990. As mandated by current licensure laws, all new Clinical Mental Health graduates may apply for a limited license to become eligible to practice. Once documents have been sent to Lansing, it could take up to 6 weeks for processing. They will become eligible for full licensure after at least two years and 3,000 hours of supervised experience (by a qualified LPC supervisor) and successful completion of the National Counselor Examination (NCE), as required by the State.
