DLCA Announces Temporary Hold on Issuance of Licenses for Marriage and Family Therapists, Substance Abuse Counselors, and Professional Counselors

The V.I. Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs and the V.I. Board of Licensed Counselors and Examiners announced Tuesday a temporary hold on the processing of applications and issuing of new counseling-related licensing through January 2022.

The temporary hold is to allow for the structuring of policies and procedures that are paramount to the fulfillment of the Board's duty to serve the community, according to Board Chair Dr. Vincentia Paul-Constantin. Current active licenses will not be affected and will remain active. However, applications that are in process of review will be placed on hold.

The license suspension is for the following counseling professions the board regulates under Chapter 4A of 27VIC §203:

                Licensed Substance Abuse Counselors;

                Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists; and

                Licensed Professional Counselors.
