Reciprocity and Post-Grad Supervision Hours

[papisces]

Hi!

I applied to a mental health counseling masters program in PA a few months ago and have some questions about licensure. 

If I do a two-year program and pass the NCE exam in PA, am I able to complete my clinical supervised hours in another state? I want to move to CA after graduation and know that an additional exam is required but I'm a little confused on the period of time between taking the NCE and gaining LPC status. I'm a little new to the process so apologies if this is a basic question!

Thanks!

You'll have to look at the specific requirements for licensure in CA. Each state is different, and you need to make sure you meet the requirements of that state.
