The West Tennessee Counseling Association, a chapter of the Tennessee Counseling Association, is a professional organization established for counselors of all disciplines including School Counselors, Mental Health Counselors, Rehabilitation Counselors, as well as Counselor Educators, Counseling Supervisors, and students enrolled in counseling graduate programs. We warmly welcome individuals interested in professional development opportunities and the advancement of the profession of counseling.
