Legal to call myself a spiritual counselor?

Jurisdiction
Wyoming
Good morning, I am located in Wyoming. I hope this is the right place to post this question.

Is it within the law for me to officially call myself a "spiritual counselor"? I am a certified spiritual life coach and energy healer. Or do I need some specific additional licensure through government?

Please advise - thank you in advance!

"Certified" by whom?

I googled "wyoming spiritual counselor license" and found no relevant results. Nevertheless, it's possible, in the abstract and without knowing any facts at all, that the things you're doing require some sort of license, so it might be helpful to review the pages for the Wyoming Mental Health Professions Licensing Board (which are included in the linked search results).

You need a Professional Counselor License.

Read the following statute which includes spiritual counselling in the definition of the "practice of counselling."

Here's the licensing board's information about how to become licensed.

The one that isn't provides free counselling but accepts donation. He's likely operating illegally.

In addition to a license you'll need professional liability insurance in case one of your clients sues you.
