I understand the frustration of those who have a pschology background seeking counseling vocations and credentials; however, my frustration would reflect yours if I wanted to pursue a licensure in a vocation such as school psychology. The courses under each discipline are not the same, which is why there are often two separate programs within a higher education . If I wanted to get any type of licensure in psychology, I would need to begin taking courses for it. I would expect the same for anyone in the psychology field pursuing to be a LPC.
