I am a foreign national in process of naturalization and practicing LCPC and a clinical supervision in the state of Maryland. My strong opinion is that the current proposed legislation has the potential to further limit, as well as divide, the availability of quality services to the community if it is solely basing on NCLEP/CACREP standards as a main competency/accreditation standard. In this way legislators would be creating a vacuum and another obstacle for already practicing clinicians. I foresee this proposal as a method of dividing us as professionals, rather than working on keeping us united towards the common goal.
