* 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.
