Secret Pathways to Becoming a Licensed Mental Health Professional

Licensing Exams

Once you've completed your supervised experience, the final hurdle is passing a licensing exam. The specific exam you'll need to take depends on your chosen field. For example, aspiring clinical social workers might take the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) exam, while future counselors might take the National Counselor Examination (NCE). Preparing for these exams often involves extensive study and review, and many candidates find it helpful to follow the options for preparatory courses and materials to ensure success.
