Obtaining licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor is the standard of care, not a guild group seeking to bolster their own position. Their position is to improve the standing of programs run out of Education Departments and exclude counseling programs run out of Psychology Departments. It is immoral given the high degree of need for more LPCs in Virginia. Do not add an arbitrary addition to the high standards already represented but the LPC licensure.
