Consulting with a Mental Health Expert for Individuals and Organizations
As a Mental Health Expert, I get asked a lot about my perspective on a wide range of topics. From people attempting to weight the pros and cons of a large decision, or families dealing with financial issue (the psychological aspects). Other times, I have had organizations contact me wanting my opinion on what to do about certain employees’ behavior, or how to create an incentive-based workplace environment.
As a therapist, I do not give my opinions, or offer advice to my clients—psychotherapy is a process and one that is governed by a whole host of rules at the state level, ethics and techniques from the counseling profession, as well as time, space, and boundary limitations.
As a consultant, I will be speaking for myself. I will utilized my expertise as a Mental Health Expert to give yourself or your organization my ideas without restraint. This will be nothing like therapy at all. However, I will draw on my experiences helping others to offer you multiple perspectives in these confusing times.
In the field of Mental Health: I have been a Private Practice Therapist, Adjunct Graduate School Professor, Clinical Supervisor, Clinical Director, Professional Speaker, Behavioral Health Trainer, EMDR Consultant, Mentor, and Podcast Host (Regarding Psychology and Philosophy). Interacting in such a wide range of places and roles helps me draw on a vast variety of experiences and knowledge that will make consulting with me, worth your while.

LPCs rights saved in Michigan
https://paulkrauss.podbean.com/e/update-michigan-counselors-jobs-are-saved-hb4325-passes-unianmously-listen-to-the-story/
In this special episode of the Intentional Clinician Podcast, Paul Krauss MA LPC reports on the developments in the state of Michigan which almost led to the job loss of 10,000+ Counselors and almost resulted in 300,000+ patients losing access to mental health care (when the Licensing and Regulatory Authority (LARA) of Michigan overrode the wishes of the entire Michigan Board of Counseling (who was ironically appointed by LARA to be the experts on the field of Counseling) and declared that it was changing a 31 year old rule for 'clarification purposes' among other doublespeak--which would have rendered LPCs unable to practice in the State of Michigan--even though LARA denied that fact...). This caused a rush of advocacy led by the Michigan Mental Health Association and other Counselors to pass a bill to update the rules for LARA, so that the changes would be negated. The bill was HB4325, sponsored by Representative Aaron Miller. The bill had been around for years and was waiting for this moment.
The good news is that the Michigan Legislature listened to the 5000+ counselors that formed a coalition with the Michigan Mental Health Counselors Association--with both the House and Senate passing HB4325 unanimously. The bill was signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2019. HB4325 is now know as Public Act 96 of 2019 and went into effect in January, 2020.
See details here: http://mmhca.org/law-to-keep-michigans-licensed-professional-counselors-on-the-job-took-effect-on-january-27-2020/
LPCs in Michigan need your help (Scope of Practice under attack) Michigan to lose it's counselors
A few points we would like to make clear:
1. If LARA's proposed rules go into effect before HB 4325 is signed by the governor, then LLPCs and LPCs will not be able to diagnose or use counseling techniques - it will be illegalfor LLPCs and LPCs to diagnose and use counseling techniques.
a. This means LLPCs and LPCs will not be able to bill under someone else (as has been done in the past) because you will not be able to use counseling techniques (conduct mental health therapy).
b. If the legislature passes HB 4325 into law after LARA's proposed rules take effect it will nullify the rules.
2. If HB 4325 is signed by the governor (before LARA's proposed rules go into effect), then law will clearly define our scope of practice among other things (supervision, etc.), and LLPCs and LPCs will be able to practice mental health therapy in the same way they have for decades (since 1989). Passing HB 4325 will negate the need for LARA's rules.
3. Our focus now and over the coming weeks must be to influence legislators to move HB 4325 quickly to Governor Whitmer. Please be thoughtful/diplomatic about what you write on public sites. Stay focused on the goal of contacting legislators.
4. If at all possible, attend and speak at the public hearing on LARA's proposed rules on October 4th. This is imperative. We want a large volume of testimony on record. IF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BE PRESENT, PLEASE SEND WRITTEN TESTIMONY. Written comments must be submitted by 5:00 pm on October 4th to the following email: BPL-BoardSupport@Michigan.gov Tell the Board of Professional Licensing how this will hurt your clients, and the financial/career crisis this will cause you and your business or the business you work for. The hearing is being held at the G. Mennen Williams Building Auditorium, 525 W. Ottawa St., Lansing, MI 48893 and starts at 9am.
5. Please join MMHCA - your memberships fund the essential lobbyist we have employed to help move HB 4325 through the system.

Frequently Asked Questions:
HB 4325 and LARA's Proposed Counseling Rule Changes
by
MMHCA Retained Lobbyist Andrea CascarillaLegislative Director
What rules changes is LARA proposing?
The actual text of LARA's proposed rule changes may be found here. To be clear, some of the proposed rule changes are not contentious and make necessary and appropriate updates. Others related to R338.1751 and R338.1757 are a cause for serious concern.
First, LARA is recommending the repeal of virtually all the rules that define a licensed professional counselor's scope of practice under R338.1751. These are the current rules that have been recognized as part of a counselor's scope since they were first promulgated after the passage of the Licensed Professional Counselor statute in 1988. Instead the department insists these definitions should apply only to the educational preparation of counselors and not to counseling practice.
Second, LARA is also pursuing the repeal of the rules identifying the requirements for providing counseling supervision (R338.1757), one of which is specific training in supervision. This training is a national standard for professional counseling.
What would the impact of these changes be?
R338.1751:
Included in the repeal of the definitions in the rule is the practice of "counseling techniques" and the related ability to "diagnose and identify the problem". Without these and numerous other definitions, the counseling scope of practice will be severely restricted.
These changes in scope also put Michigan's LPCs in violation of the American Counseling Association's Code of Ethics (E.5.a. Proper Diagnosis), which requires the proper diagnosis of a client's mental disorder before treatment and could subject them to permanent expulsion from the profession.
Under Michigan's public health code, LPC's are legally required to comply with their professional code of ethics. They will be violation of this statute. Ultimately, these rule changes will prohibit Michigan's 10,000 licensed professional counselors from continuing to practice in the state and leave hundreds of thousands of residents without the treatment they need.
Additionally, insurance companies will no longer cover services of LPCs as a diagnosis is required for reimbursement.
R338.1757:
If this rule regarding counseling supervision requirements is rescinded, counselors who provide supervision without training would be practicing in violation of the ACA's Code of Ethics (F.2.a Supervisor Preparation).
Furthermore, LPCs who received their supervision in Michigan may not be eligible for licensure in other states because their supervisor would not be qualified in the state to which the counselor is moving.
Why is LARA proposing these changes?
The Attorney General's office raised concerns a few years ago as to whether the counseling rules were properly aligned with the counseling statute, questioning whether the rules exceed the statute. Since LARA only has the authority to promulgate rules, not change statute, they have proceeded with the only option available to resolve this concern: repeal the rules in question.
What is the status of the proposed rule changes?
Despite the unanimous objections by the Board of Counseling, on July 18, 2019, LARA filed a formal request for rule making and submitted its draft rules. The associated Regulatory Impact Statement for the proposed rule changes was filed on August 28, 2019.
This action triggered the setting of the required public hearing, which is scheduled for Friday, October 4 at 9:00 am at the G. Mennen Williams Building Auditorium located at 525 W. Ottawa Street in Lansing, Michigan.
After this public hearing, the rules can be certified, and a report submitted to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). JCAR, a legislative body, has just 15 session days to review the rules. Their only course of action if they object is to introduce legislation within another 15 days to repeal them. After the JCAR review is completed, the LARA Director can adopt the rules.
When would the proposed rules take effect?
The rules changes were written with immediate effect. Given the above timeline these proposed rule changes could be in effect as early as November of this year immediately rendering Michigan's 10,000 licensed professional counselors unable to diagnose and, therefore, unable to legally practice in our state.
What can be done to oppose the proposed rule changes?
Any member of the public may comment in opposition of the proposed rules changes at the October 4th hearing. Written comments may also be submitted electronically any time before 5:00 pm on October 4th to BPL-BoardSupport@Michigan.gov
What organizations are opposing the proposed rule changes?
The following are some of the organizations that have expressed opposition to LARA's proposed rule changes:
MMHCA (Michigan Mental Health Counselors Association)
CMHAM (Community Mental Health Association of Michigan)
MHA (Michigan Hospital Association)
MPCA (MI Primary Care Association)
MATCP (MI Association of Treatment Court Professionals)
MPFFA (MI Professional Fire Fighters Association)
ACA (American Counseling Association)

How do the proposed rule changes relate to HB 4325?
The proposed rules are the administrative response to the Attorney General's question as to whether the rules align with the statute. HB 4325 is the legislative response.
What does HB 4325 do?
HB 4325, sponsored by Rep. Aaron Miller (R-Sturgis), would codify into statute the existing rules that have come into question instead of repealing them. This preferred solution allows counselors to maintain their ability to properly diagnose and treat individuals with mental and emotional disorders. The bill also makes a number of technical updates to the 30+ year old law.
Does HB 4325 change the scope of practice for licensed professional counselors?
No. It maintains the scope of practice that has been in placed since the Licensed Professional Counselor law was passed in 1988.
Does HB 4325 change who is eligible to be licensed as a professional counselor?
No. It maintains that only those with the education and training in the diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorders and meet the standards of the Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) are eligible for licensure.
What is the status of HB 4325?
HB 4325 (S-3) was passed unanimously out of the House Health Policy Committee on September 19, 2019. The bill has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee. A hearing and vote is expected on October 2. The bill will then be sent to the full House of Representatives for a vote.
How would the passage of HB 4325 affect the proposed rules?
HB 4325 negates altogether the need for LARA's proposed rule by resolving the Attorney General's question. It would nullify the proposed rules if they were to go into effect.
Who is supporting HB 4325?
To date the following organizations have formally taking a position supporting HB 4325, and many more are expected to as future opportunities in the legislative process allow:
MMHCA (Michigan Mental Health Counselors Association)
MPCA (MI Primary Care Association)
MATCP (MI Association of Treatment Court Professionals)
NBCC (National Board for Certified Counselors)
MASW (MI Association of Social Workers)
MSCA (Middle School Counselors Association)
Central Michigan University
Eastern Michigan University
Oakland University
Spring Arbor University
University of Detroit-Mercy
Wayne State University
Western Michigan University
Hope Network
A few related other facts:
Our nation is facing a mental health crisis and there simply aren't enough counselors and other mental health professionals to meet the burgeoning demand for services, according to a recent analysis by the U.S. Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA).
HRSA estimates nationally we need to add 10,000 providers in each of seven separate mental healthcare professions by 2025 to meet the expected growth in demand.
In Michigan there are nearly 1.4 million adults with mental illness and 67,000 youth suffering from a major depressive episode. The majority of these individuals are not receiving the care they need.
Costs are the reason nearly half of the adults are not receiving the treatment they need. Mental health counselors are uniquely qualified to meet the challenges of providing high quality care in a cost-effective manner.
Resources for Recent Master's Counseling Graduates to Keep Learning
It has occurred to me that I am often citing things as facts that may not have been taught in your graduate school. This may cause some odd transference during group supervision.
I was talking to the president of the Michigan Mental Health Counseling Association on the other week and he discussed his efforts to update the curriculum at graduate schools to be in line w/ the latest counseling research and neuroscience. Unfortunately, for me, I didn't get my best training until I was OUT of graduate. In my opinion, many graduate schools’ curriculum is BEHIND the science and best practices.
Most of what I have learned about "what works" and how to, I learned at conferences, trainings, seminars, and through books and psychology podcasts following graduate school. Obviously, you still need graduate school, but it is FAR LESS comprehensive than I believe it should be to graduate clinicians with the skills and confidence to give excellent therapy to clients.
In case you are interested:
Clinical Training:
So I wanted to share with you that I emphatically recommend you invest in your clinical skills and become formally trained in DBT and/or EMDR.
Conferences
That you attend any conference put on by the Erickson Foundation, especially "The Evolution of Psychotherapy" which is a mega conference and brings together people from across disciplines--it is held every 4 or 5 years in Anaheim, CA near Disneyland. Highly recommend it.
https://www.erickson-foundation.org/
http://www.evolutionofpsychotherapy.com/
I'll be honest, I have been to the American Counseling Association conference and I will attend again--but it was lackluster compared to Evolution or Brief conferences--and I just give them money to pay the lobbyist, so counselors don't lose more rights.
Podcasts:
and OLD episodes of "ShrinkRap Radio"
Jungianthology and Speaking of Jung (if you like Jung)
Of course, you can listen to my podcast, The Intentional Clinician as well : )
Below is a list books which have been instrumental to my development as a psychotherapist.
(I have found that local library can be a great source if you don't want to spend the money, or audio books through the "Hoopla" APP--using your library card).
