I am in favor of allowing appropriate advertising by residents, providing the ads are clear about their status and includes the name and contact information of their supervisor. Residents frequently struggle to see enough clients to meet the required 3400+ hours,  especially because clients often prefer to see a licensed clinician for the cost of a small copay while residents in Virginia do not yet have a temporary license number needed to be credentialed by managed care. It frequently requires 2-3 years to see enough clients to accumulate the required hours and residents deserve the ability to make a living during this time.  Respectfully submitted, Joan Normandy-Dolberg, Licensed Professional Counselor and resident supervisor
