achieve what he or she really wants from life.

THE PROFESSION OF COUNSELING - Counseling is handled by professionals - Counseling has made progress toward
recognition as a profession at a rate comparable with that of professionalization efforts in other mental health
disciplines, such as psychology. Connecticut became the first state to pass a law licensing psychologists in 1945, and
licensing laws for psychologists had been enacted in all 50 states when Missouri passed its law in 1977, 32 years later
(Benjamin, 2006). In comparison, the first counselor-licensure bill was passed in Virginia in 1976, and all 50 states had
passed licensure bills for counselors by 2009, 33 years later.
