Portability makes sense. Not allowing it limits the opportunity for Hampton Roads to gain clinical talent. This is a highly transient area due to the many military bases. Once Professional counselor spouses leave when family member separate from the military, and leave the area, that talent leaves too.There aren’t enough providers to go around especially those that specialize in children and military populations. I provide services on based as well as in private practice. Military bases have difficulty recruiting counselors and often operate at a deficit. Portability makes sense.
