Southwest Counseling Service proudly celebrates the professional progress of three current employees who earned new licenses. Licensure in the mental health and social work fields is a challenging process that requires several years of schooling, thousands of hours of supervised practice, and high levels of dedication. SCS commends the passion and determination that these three have demonstrated in their work to provide mental and behavioral health services to individuals in our community at a higher level.
