Right now, regulation of Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) falls under the Department of Health alongside many other fields, leaving counselors without a unified voice to shape the standards, ethics, and policies that define our work. A governing board — made up of practicing counselors and public members — would change that by overseeing licensure, guiding continuing education, supporting supervisors, and ensuring our profession is represented in legislative and regulatory decisions. Join us for a Virtual Town Hall to hear what's being developed, ask questions, and help shape the future of counseling in Washington. This is your opportunity to be part of the conversation.</p> https://wmhca.org/event-6726885 https://wmhca.org/event-6726885 Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT <p>Washington is one of the few states without a dedicated governing board for counselors — and that's something WMHCA is working to change.
