CACREP only is blindly exclusionary! When I was in Grad school there were no CACREP programs in Maryland. Many programs (like mine) are taught by counseling psychologist phds and are equal to that of CACREP standards and in my opinion sometimes much better. With infighting with social workers and psychologists for resources we need to harmonize and integrate as licensed counselors not divide. Let standard testing rule licensing not CACREP.
