Support Licensure Portability for Professional Counselors
 

We live in a culture where one spouse/partner is transferred for work and the other needs to follow, where the birth of grandchildren, the care of elderly parent, or semi-retirement causes a move to a different state, where some of our practice locations are near state borders.  To prevent licensed therapists from continuing practice across state lines is akin to holding them hostage.  Please vote for an easy way to continue practicing even when a relocation occurs.  Vote to approve license portability.
