Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

You may not. According to the state licensure, you may not call your self a marriage counselor or family counselor without a state license and meeting lecnesure requiremements.

However there are things a person can do that approximate the same kind of thing that does not constitute counseling or therapy under the definitions of this practice.

For example one can be:

  1. a life coach
  2. a trainer and personal development guide
  3. personal development training
  4. relationship skills development
  5. private arbitration and negotiation training
  6. anger management

 

and so forth.
