The Association for Creativitiy in CounselingACC was established in 2004 as a forum for counselors, counselor educators, and counseling students interested in creative, diverse, and relational approaches to counseling. We are especially interested in promoting counseling approaches that support mutually supportive, positive, growth-fostering relationships. ACC is also committed to researching and defining relational competencies that facilitate good-will, empathic personal and professional connections, and the appropriate use of power.
