PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE COUNSELING ASSOCIATION
A DIVISION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA COUNSELING ASSOCIATION

What is the PACCA?

The Pennsylvania College Counseling Association (PACCA) is a division of the Pennsylvania Counseling Association (PCA) for professional counselors who have an interest in issues related to the practice of professional counseling in the higher education setting.

It's estimated that approximately 2,800 Pennsylvania career, mental health, and substance abuse counselors are college-based (many of whom have obtained the state's new LPC license for practicing outside the K-12 setting).  PACCA provides Pennsylvania college-based professional counselors opportunities to network, to participate in professional development activities, and to socialize!
