In my opinion this petition is a waste of the boards time and resources. The board has already implemented how Residents of Counseling should and can market themself. The petition writter claryifed that part of the reason is that Residents may be listed in a search engine before him. That statement is a personal grievence, and not one that should effect the whole state of Virginia. Residents of Counseling have been trained and have a Masters agree to attest to the fact that they are knowledgable. Mental Health Providers also educate clients and consumers on the differences, and it's clearly stated when working as well as advertising. Petitioner also stated that if calling he would expect the person to be able to help him. On the other side of this there are indepedently licensed professionals that have to refer out due to not having the training in certain areas. That is why we have a network and make referrals so that the client can have their needs met. In this country we talk about how there is a shortage of mental health professionals and how there is a need. There will be more of a need if Residents of Counseling are not able to be visable in this day and age where you need to market yourself as well as have an online presence.
