Counseling Compact
Counseling Compact
Pursuant to Public Act 23-195, Connecticut joined the Counseling Compact.
The Counseling Compact is a legislative agreement among participating states which allows counselors to practice across state lines either in person or via telehealth. It is a mutual recognition model, which means that every participating state agrees to recognize the license of all eligible counselors from every other member state and allow them a privilege to practice in that state. Everything is tied to the counselor’s home state and they must have a valid, unencumbered license from the state where they legally reside.
Please check this webpage periodically for information as to when Compact applications will be available.
The Counseling Compact is in its rulemaking process and is accepting public comment on its draft rules for legacy licensing and background checks.
