I am against the petition filed with the Virginia Board of Counseling prohibiting Residents in Counseling from advertising on placed like psychologytoday or other online, social media platforms.

As a supervisor, I fully support Residents in Counseling and their ability to advertise and promote their services as long as Residents in Counseling indicate their residency status, supervisors name and company they work for on all marketing / promotional materials, as currently outlined in the licensure regulations.

Implementing this filed petition would make it nearly impossible for Residents to meet the residency requirements to get hours to work toward licensure, and ultimately harm the growth of the profession.
