Hello,

Posting this for my mom who does not have a reddit account but is a prospective school counselor:
My mom has been struggling to find a way to get certified to be a school counselor in Florida. She has an MA in Mental Health Counseling and an expired LPC from another state. Every university she's called has told her she'd have to commit to a full MA program. However, when she reached out to FLDOE, they said because of her currently held MA, she would only needs 3 credit hours for a temporary certificate, then once she is employed, 12 credit hours, a passing score on a state approved exam, and a minimum of six-hundred (600) hours of supervised internship. She doesn't want to go back for a full MA program, and feels stuck. Any advice?
