Do you have your LCT designation?
Reminder! All members regardless of designation (LCT or LCT-C) must complete all the steps in the On-going Requirements section below to maintain licensing.
Note: Members who are stepping away from counselling for any reason (e.g., moving, maternity leave, sick leave) must notify the College immediately to have their license placed on inactive status. A signed letter must be submitted outlining the start and (if known) end date of the leave, along with a declaration acknowledging that an inactive license prohibits counselling in any capacity. LCT-Cs must also confirm they have discussed their leave with their supervisor and have a plan in place for their return.
