The American Counseling Association of Missouri (ACAM) is an organization of counseling professionals who work in diverse settings, including schools, hospitals, residential care facilities, community mental health agencies, the military, government, business and industry, and private practice.
ACAM counselors have a wide variety of specialties, include marriage and family therapy, clinical mental health, substance abuse, school and college counseling, disability and vocational rehabilitation, career development, trauma and grief counseling, geriatric and pediatric counseling, business and personal coaching, psychotherapy for personal growth, as well as other specialties.
ACAM is a state branch of The American Counseling Association, www.counseling.org. It was founded as the Missouri Personnel and Guidance Association (MPGA) in 1969, and after several intermediate name changes, in 1996 became The American Counseling Association of Missouri, emphasizing its connection with ACA.
