Residents deserve clients too
 

I worked in a private practice under supervision as a resident in a completely ethical manner and I had to do all of my own advertising and networking to obtain clients. It was hard and in no way do I believe I impeded on licensed clincians’ ability to obtain clients. Many people needed to use insurance and I referred more clients than I kept for that reason. I worked hard and learned the business side of private practice which was invaluable to me as a licensed clinician now. It is already very challenging to obtain an LPC in Va. so I do not believe we should make it any harder for residents. Please vote no.
