Strongly Opposed
 

Honorable Governor of Virginia, please continue to support inclusive supervision. There is no need to alter the “playing field“ in the way. Turf wars between professional health care providers doesn’t not serve the public. Please don’t contribute to this attempt to promote one discipline over others. I am a native Virginian who did my graduate work in Pennsylvania. With this legislation I would not be eligible to work in Virginia as a licensed mental health counselor if I returned home because my training in PA wouldnt meet these new requirements. Sincerely yours!
