I am strongly against implementing the CACREP licensure requirement. As a faculty member in counselor education who was trained in psychology yet strongly identifies with the American Counseling Association (ACA), I have an extensive record of publications in ACA journals, present regularly at ACA conferences that include invited ACA Presidential presentations, am an ACA Fellow, have Chaired several ACA national committees, have been a President of one of the ACA divisions, and am the only counselor educator to ever receive the Commonwealth of Virginia State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV) Outstanding Faculty Award, I am opposed to CACREP-only licensure mandate that will disallow the future people like me who were not trained in a CACREP program but identify as a counselor educator from becoming faculty members in counselor education programs.
