Opposed
 

l oppose current regulations that restrict counseling residents’ supervisors to people who hold an active Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) license and urge a return to more inclusive supervision requirements that includes licensed psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers! 

In addition, although not specifically part of this periodic review, I oppose the Board of Counseling’s continued efforts to restrict Virginia counselor licensure to graduates of programs accredited by CACREP.
