As someone who has a master's degree, completed didactic work to earn my LPC, has worked in the field for 23 years, but was unable financially to earn my license, I would think it would be advantageous to practitioners and patients in this field of practice to be able to pass an exam and license as QMHP.  Again, scope and breadth of how it would be differentiated between QMHP and LMHP can be ironed out, but in this day and age we need more qualified practitioners, and those with experience and level of education should be able to teach and train lower levels and move ahead, whether it's LMPH or QMHP.  Again, not taking away anything from a licensed practitioner who has put in the hours and the education, but there are different ways to get the hours and education that should be recognized.
