in principle i agree with the commonwealth position to add a requirement for all counseling programs leading to a license as a professional counselor to be clinically-focused and accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) or an approved affiliate, such as the Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE).

i would just want to make sure that recipocity between states and the ablity to practice in said states is NOT limited to whether a particular school was CACREP accredited.
