I went through an almost three-year process of licensure with the Board of Virginia to apply for licensure as a Counselor.  At the end they denied me because of my educational requirements.  I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and have met all of the clinical and practical requirements.  I am currently licensed as a LCPC in the State of Maryland.  This regulation was a hindrance in licensing qualified individuals who live and want to work and serve in Virginia.
