I am in complete oppososition to this legislation. As a professor of psychology in a doctoral psychology program in Virginia that along the way to a PhD provides master's degrees to students (non-CACREP-accredited), I am very concerned that this legislation will critically limit the number of providers who can deliver necessary mental health services. The training providing by non-CACREP PhD psychology programs is outstanding and would be destroyed by this legislation. This legislation is purely an attempt to create a monopoly of training for mental health professionals and it is without practical or policy justification.
