Opposition to make Virginia a CACREP-only state
 

I am opposed to making Virginia a CACREP-only state.  I beleive it will gradually eliminate or harm graduate programs that offer Masters degrees in Counseling Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, Clinical Psychology, Sports Psychology, Forensic Psychology, among others, that qualify for licensure as a mental health counselor and have prorams approved by othr accredidating boards. I do not beleive that one accrediation baord should have a monopoly on the profession of mentla health counseling. .
