CACREP only
 

I strongly oppose the proposal to limit all LCPC's for licensure based on the school they attended for their education.  If they can pass your current licensing test and requirements, they should be given the opportunity to serve the people of VA.  This seems to be a way for certain schools to have a monopoly on the counseling profession.  You will be excluding many seasoned professionals who attended schools prior to the CACREP era being implemented.
