As an LPC in VA and SC as well as a counselor educator, I can attest the majority of LPCs with the identity of counselor graduate from CACREP-accredited programs. CACREP has been the historical standard for quality training of counselors. In fact, the American Counseling Association who initiated the counseling compact movement endorses CACREP for counselor training. The many who oppose represent well-meaning individuals who are blaming this potential requirement for limiting the number of counselors who can serve individuals. In fact, that issue is not related to CACREP or the counseling profession at all. The psychology profession, many years ago, determined that their training would be limiting to doctoral-level practitioners. There are very few masters, practice-oriented psychology programs available to students in the country. Hence, when students seek these masters programs, they are uninformed that the only available license may be an LPC. Professional counselors should not have their training and licensure dictated by another discipline. That is a primary case for my support of this legislation.
