Welcome to the Mississippi Counseling Association!

As a proud member of MCA for over 25 years, I am honored to serve as your President. This year’s theme, “Can’t Help Falling in Love with Counseling,” speaks to the deep passion and dedication that unites us as professionals across Mississippi.

I invite you to join us November 5–7, 2025, in Tupelo, MS for our Annual Conference. We have an incredible lineup of speakers and sessions designed to inspire, educate, and reconnect us. It’s more than just professional development—it’s a chance to build lasting friendships and form meaningful professional networks that support your growth throughout your career.

MCA is committed to advocating for our profession, promoting high ethical standards, and helping all Mississippians reach their fullest potential. We offer valuable learning opportunities year-round, along with a strong and supportive community of colleagues who care deeply about the work we do.

This year, our 2025-2026 project will benefit the Mississippi Food Network, an important way we can extend our impact beyond the profession and into the communities we serve.

Whether you’re a new member or a longtime supporter, we’re glad you’re here. Your involvement makes us stronger, and your voice matters.

Warm regards,

Heather Norton

President, Mississippi Counseling Association
