I would potentially be okay with a compromise between the ideas - having a different licensing level between QMHP and LMHP. Something that differentiates between a brand new QMHP and a QMHP who has been in the field for a long time, has taken a certain amount of CEUs, perhaps can pass a certain test, and can demonstrate a higher level quality of care. But I have provided care on a QMHP level and an LMHP level and there is a vast difference between the type of care provided. There are certainly some incredible QMHPs out there, just as there are some not-amazing LMHPs out there. But just as there is a difference in the training between LCSWs and LPCs even though both have master's degrees and some responsibilities overlap, there is a difference in the training provided to LMHPs who qualify for the title and those with a master's degree who do not qualify for the LMHP title. They have gone to schools who have demonstrated that they are providing a certain standard of education, and that the courses are also fitting a certain standard to train their students to be able to provide the more intensive services needed. I also agree with Ms. Rowsey-Collins who commented prior that this could have further reaching implications when it comes to the Counseling Compact.
