* County of location reflects the licensee's primary
mailing address on record with the State Education Department.
This address may either be the licensee's home or practice
address. Licensees must be registered in order to practice and
use a professional title within New York State; being registered,
however, does not necessarily mean the licensee is actively
engaged in practice.
