I am in strong opposition to the proposed regulation. The proposed regulation is without merit or demonstrated need. In fact, it is fully antitheticial to the need for mental health professionals, including Professional Counselors, to learn from, understand and develop collaborative relationships with colleague mental health professionals from across the professionals.

The proposed reguation is consistent with a framework that seems to be endorsed by a small minority of LPC's who (evidently) to seek conflict rather than collaboration with their peers from other professions. I do not understand the vaue of the proposal and believe that it will have significant "unintended" negative consequences for the field and the mental health professions more generally.

I am strongly opposed to this proposed regulation.
