State Branch of ACA


NCCA
The North Carolina Counseling Association is NCs state branch of the American Counseling Association. NCCA works in conjunction with ACA to bring its members up to date information on the counseling profession. The North Carolina Counseling Association is dedicated to promoting the development of the individual professional counselor, advancing the counseling profession, and using the profession and practice of counseling to improve the quality of life for North Carolina’s citizens. NCCA Membership is separate from the ACA membership. 

Dues Are Separate

While the North Carolina Counseling Association is a branch of the ACA, membership dues are separate.  Dues paid to ACA only cover ACA activities and NOT NCCA activities. 

 

How Membership Works

The membership year runs from July 1 to June 30.
