Comment on the petition from Dr. John Wieriman I would not know how to select a counselor. I have heard that often clinical social workers are better at counseling than psychologists or psychiatrists. There appears to be many approaches to counseling. There should be some means of evaluating the outcomes of various treatment plans. I think the suggestion that family, friends, and co-workers evaluate a person’s improvement or lack thereof as worthwhile. There are ratings for just about every service. There should be ratings for counseling. I receive emails and purchase receipts asking me for feedback on stores and services. Most businesses encourage feedback by offering the possibility of winning a prize if feedback is provided. I should think Virginia should find feedback valuable in improving mental health services.
