The Piney Woods Counseling Association (PWCA) is a division of the Texas Counseling Association and conducts its affairs in compliance with the by-laws of that organization. It is one of thirty-two chapters of TCA. TCA splits the state of Texas into five regions and PWCA is in Region IV. The purpose of PWCA is to enhance the development of counselors by conducting programs of education and advancing high standards of professional conduct.

It's a great group. We have 3 meetings during each "school year" and you're able to get 12-hours of certified continuing education each year. What a nice way to meet other area counselors and keep up with what's going on. It's a wonderful networking organization for job or client referrals.

We usually meet on one of the area's college campuses. The colleges have been very good to us - offering their facilities for our meetings free of charge and sometimes, as budgets allow, providing lunch or continental breakfast for the meeting attendees. Each meeting is certified through TCA for 4-hours of continuing education credit for school counselors and LPCs.

Our meetings are held from 9AM - 3:00PM and we provide a continental breakfast as well as lunch. Meetings are developed and planned during August of each year and will usually get posted on the web site by September 1st so members can mark their calendars and make their plans to attend.

If you're ready to join, sign up for our newsletter (e-zine) and then sign up on our membership page. Even if you're not quite ready to become a member, you'll want to sign up for our newsletter (e-zine) so you can keep abreast of what's happening.
