Affiliated Chapter Membership

AMHCA works closely with our affiliated chapters to further the profession and grow as organizations that represent clinical mental health counselors in professional and educational needs. Some affiliated chapters participate in a unified dues program in which you can join both AMHCA and the chapter and save money on both memberships. Chapter membership with affiliated chapters that do not participate in the unified dues program are in addition to the AMHCA membership. Learn more about our affiliated chapters.
