Oppose CACREP ony
 

I oppose CACREP only licensure. This is unfair to students who graduate from wonderful programs not accredited by CACREP, such as Johns Hopkins. The push for CACREP only is a political move that hinders clients from getting help and having more choices of counselors. It also penalizes professionals who studied diligently, worked hard for their license, and then are denied licensure in their state of residence.
