Counselor Weekly- 9/20/23

New Upcoming Rules for Texas LPCs

Hello, and welcome to Counselor Weekly! Thanks again for being part of the community!

Want to be a really cool person by referring your friends/colleagues a way to gain access to my newsletter!? Here's a link you can forward that will send them to my sign up page to begin receiving Counselor Weekly every Wednesday. I appreciate your support!

So let's get to it!

Here's the short and skinny of today's newsletter:

  • Quote of the Day

  • Interesting Articles

  • New LPC Rules Effective 9/21/23

  • Cat Photo

Today is 9/20/23, and it’s National Queso Day! You may disagree, but I still think Velveeta and Rotel is the best queso.

Until I have an official sponsor, looks like I'm the sponsor!

It’s live!

Find Your Supervisor is finally live! Just click HERE, or the photo above and it will take you right to the site. If you are an LPC Supervisor in Texas (sorry, starting in Texas only and will look at options for other states down the road), or a potential Supervisee looking for a Supervisor, this is the place for you! It's a directory for LPC Supervisors to market their services by listing their information so that potential Supervisees can connect with them and hopefully find a perfect match! If you have any questions, click REPLY to this email and I can answer any questions you have. Thanks again for allowing me this personal promotion! 🙏

Quote of the Day

"Be dedicated to change the way in which people see mental illness at all levels of society. If not for yourself, advocate for those who are struggling in silence.”

Germany Kent

And now some interesting articles:

Not the shortest article, but very informative.

Well there’s a headline that might get your attention! I don’t agree with this opinion at all, but gives us a perspective from a person who probably feels like they did not have the best experience receiving mental health services.

Never heard of this before, but basically an article about helping clients learn how to better process and accept rejection and a reality of life.

New LPC Rules Effective 9/21/23

Yep, it’s time of year again when things change! Tomorrow some updates will go into effect. Didn’t see anything that really stood out, but it’s always good to read the updates, especially when they’re regarding the following.

Also, if you’re not an LPC in Texas, my apologies! Feel free to disregard this “exciting” element of the newsletter.

Here’s the link to all the updates:

If you really want to have some fun, here are all the adopted rules outlined in the Texas Register dated September 15, 2023. LPC rules start on page 5138. Personally, I think it’s just easier to read through all the rules listed on BHEC.
