I concure with the The ACA Portability Plan that would permit counselors licensed at the independent level in one state (who do not have any disciplinary actions against them) to qualify for independent licensure in any other state in which they are seeking residence.  Additionally, I support duly licensed counselors being treated equally across the nation under this plan. The current and impending shortage of Mental Health Professionals suggest that all barriers need to be eliminated that would ultimately impact the quality of care that will be provided to mental health clientele.
