This initia­tive is clearly an implicit attempt by CACREP ac­credited universities to secure market advantage in licensur­e. It will gradually eliminate or harm graduate programs that offer Masters degr­ees in Counseling Ps­ychology, Creative Arts Therapy, Clinical Psychology, Sports Psychology, Forensic Psychology, all of which are equally valuable and vitally important for treating and healing holistically. As a LPC/LCPC whom has competently and effectively helped countless individuals, families, and organizations throughout the DMV, this unfair act would have prevented me from practicing and helping so many.
