Home-based counseling is an emerging modality of providing mental health counseling services to clients across the lifespan. However, minimal graduate training programs and home-based agencies provide training and preparation for professional counselors. In addition, educational and professional requirements are currently ill defined. A nonexperimental pilot survey exploring home-based professional counselors work-based, and clinical supervision and training patterns was conducted. Results suggest home-based professional counselors serve diverse populations and have limited training regarding home-based competencies. Findings from the study are presented. Implications for training and practice for home-based counselors are discussed.
