Welcome to the Indiana Counseling Association
Since our inception in 1960, when it was originally founded by the initiative of a faculty member of Notre Dame University, until it was incorporated as a state branch of the Indiana Counseling Association in 1970, the ICA has stood as a beacon for the counseling community in Indiana. We pride ourselves on our credibility, our commitment to being inclusive, and our dedication to fostering connections among counseling professionals. As the state branch of the American Counseling Association, we aim to be the most accessible, welcoming, and motivated organization for counseling professionals, ensuring they always have an advocate in their corner.
OUR MISSION
As a Branch of the American Counseling Association, ICA is committed to enhancing the counseling profession and the professional counselors who serve others. The ICA strives to enhance the quality of life in our state by promoting the development of professional counselors, advancing the counseling profession, and using the profession and practice of counseling to promote respect for human dignity and diversity.
