There are many excellent counselors working in the field today that did not graduate from a college or university that had this accreditation. It would be a travesty for Virginia to lose these individuals, especially now when we are in dire need of qualified mental health workers. I strongly oppose this Regulatory Action. I encourage you to consider the possibility that you would be treading on anti-trust grounds. It would be important for you to research this aspect of the Regulatory Action, that is disallowing competent professionals from doing their job.
