Virginia has led the way by setting the highest standards in the country for licensing when it comes to professional counselors education and training and that is why I will be proud to practice here when I graduate this May.    Please make me even prouder to be a future Virginia counseler by banning conversion therapy for children.  It has no place in our great Commonwealth and by banning it we will continue to lead the way with our high standards for licensure and professional counseling practice conduct.
