Currently Licensed Professional Counselors are excluded from working for the military due to a lack of initiative and understanding within the DoD (Department of Defense). These highly skilled and well qualified Counselors are unable to practice within the military due to a lack of an MOS entry for 'Counselors'. Though there are several different contracts that allow some LPCs to practice within a limited scope within the DoD they are still excluded entirely from normal employment. Veterans themselves who sought LPC licensure after their tours of duty have been shut out from working with their fellow veterans due to this archaic and inefficient bureaucratic rule. Today, I ask that the Obama administration insure that LPCs are fully eligible for full employment within our Military.
