OPPOSE CACREP EXCLUSIVITY LEGISLATION
 

I am fully opposed to legislation entitling only CACREP graduates the right to practice counseling in Virginia. The idea of having only CACREP graduates as counselors and denying all others the equal right they have earned and are currently in practice, is true insanity and exclusively detrimental to the mental health of the people in the commonwealth of Virginia.
