Opposed to CACREP only requirement

Hello,

As a National Certified Counselor, School Counselor who intends to get my LCPC in the near future, I do oppose the CACREP requirement.  I did go to a CACREP program, but I know many counselors who are well qualified, excellent counselors who did not.  It would be an unnecessary requirement to make them CACREP only and ineligible to practice or for future students to practice only with CACREP credentials.  I'm very happy to have been through a CACREP program, but it really sounds like a ploy for CACREP program schools to corner the market rather than in the interest of qualified counselors.  Isn't that why we have supervised clinical hours and exams?

Thank you, T Harris
