Absolutely no to CACREP monopoly
 

Dr.

 

Good Day,

I am a Licensed as a LCPC in MD and LPC in DC and certified as a NCC, MAC, and SP. I obtained these lic need and certifications after graduating in 2008 from a non-CACREP program. I own and operate a private practice in the area and provide a high quality of service to very diverse people. No graduate of a CACREP program is more prepared than I to provide re the same services. Let's focus on being inclusive instead of excluding those that did not attend a CACREP program. Accreditation is not a students focus. Obtaining a quality education and developing skills to helping other is. Therefore, I vote no to the CACREP monopoly.
