Aspira CE Now Has The Curriculum Required for Licensed Professionals Wanting to Pursue the Newly Established LPCC License in California

For licensed Marriage and Family Therapists outside of California, who typically seek MFT continuing education, there is a new option for licensure. The California Board of Behavioral Sciences (CA BBS) has created a new licensing category, LPCC (licensed professional clinical counselor). The LPCC license is open to those already licensed in CA as well as those outside of California. There is a "grandparenting" path that the CA BBS established for those wishing to apply for LPCC licensure. For the licensed professional from outside of California, their requirements will not be the same as those already licensed in California. For those that are non-BBS licensed professionals additional courses are required.

Aspira Continuing Education now provides courses that meet the requirement for the LPCC "grandparenting' path at http://www.aspirace.com. These courses are in addition to the required core content areas that should have been covered in the licensed professional's masters degree or doctorate degree programs. The extra coursework needed can be attained from a CA BBS approved online CEU provider (Aspira CE is a CA BBS approved provider). The courses and their corresponding number of required hours are as follows:

* 15 contact hours of training in alcoholism and other chemical substance abuse dependency;

* 10 contact hours of training in human sexuality;

* 15 contact hours of training in spousal or partner abuse assessment, detection, and intervention;

* 7 contact hours of training in child abuse assessment and reporting;

* 18 contact hours of training in California law and professional ethics;

* 10 contact hours of training in aging and long-term care; and,

* 15 contact hours of instruction in crisis or trauma counseling.

Aspira Continuing Education has added a few more courses to their course list in the last month. Aspira Continuing Education now has all of the required courses listed above, in addition to their already extensive list. "Now, those seeking licensure with the CA BBS as an LPCC can meet all of their extra coursework in one place", said Nicole Hiltibran, MA, LMFT, CEO of Aspira Continuing Education. "This really simplifies the process during this window of opportunity of the grandparenting path provided by the CA BBS."

Aspira Continuing Education goes beyond just providing courses to meet the new LPCC license in CA. They offer many courses for those seeking renewal of their existing license whether it is in social work, counseling, or marriage and family therapy. Aspira CE is the only online provider needed for all of one's continuing education needs for mental health professionals and licensed social workers. This is true for those across the United States not just those licensed in California.
