By making Virginia a CACREP only state you will be essentially taking resources out of the hands of people who need mental health providers more than ever.
I strongly oppose CACREP only regulations.
Imagine having a clinician that you connect to and trust, then one day you can't see them any more. You have to start over with someone new, because your clinician didn't go to a CACREP university. Would you start over with someone new or not seek treatment? Many I believe would not seek treatment.
CACREP providers are no more qualified to provide treatment as non CACREP providers.
