The Counseling Compact in New York

Counseling Compact legislation has been introduced in New York but not enacted. What that means for counselors who want to see clients in New York, and when you need the LMHC itself.

Concierge licensing for counselors in New York, from eligibility check to issued license or privilege.

A New York Compact Bill Is Pending

Compact status checked 2026-10-08 against counselingcompact.gov

New York is not a Counseling Compact member. A bill to join has been introduced, but nothing changes for licensure until it is enacted and the state then finishes its implementation, which in other states has taken a year or more. Plan on a full New York license.

Compact status moves: states go live on their own schedules, and ten were issuing privileges in October 2026 against forty members. This page reflects our last check, not a live feed, so confirm a state's status before relying on it.
