I am in support of the following:
Having received my master's in counseling, professional experience in the field and now taking three more courses to pursue my residency in the state of VA, the current requirements seem unnecessarily high. If programs are CACREP approved students should be receiving the education and experience they need. Graduate students also receive supervision during their 600 hours of internship.
If requirements stay the same, supervision should be free and counselors in residency should be paid a livable salary. Thank you.
