The Professional Counselors family
DORA groups its license types into 40 families. This one holds 19,238 active licenses across 5 types.
273 of the 19,238 active licenses in the Professional Counselors family carry a disciplinary action in DORA's file — 1.4%.
This site publishes that count and no more: never who, and never a case number. DORA records the type of action and no reason at all, and the two most common entries statewide are a stipulation and a letter of admonition — agreed outcomes. Every license counted here is active. Why that line is drawn there.
