to the community.

private, attests or affirms that an individual counselor has met the minimum
qualifications established by the agency.
- The primary advantage of any certification lies in the prestige associated with it.
- Some states use certification bodies credentials as part of establishing licensure
Examples of Certification bodies: NBCC - AAMFT
Licensure
- Governs professional practice
- Highlights uniqueness of an occupation
- Restricts both use of title and practice of occupation
- As distinct from certification, licensure processes are stipulated in law, implemented at
the state level, legally constituted as stipulated by law, and geographically restricted in
authority
- The primary advantage of licensure, as opposed to certification, is that licensure
permits counselors to do certain types of counseling and restricts the use of the title
"licensed."
