CACREP only is costly and unecessary. There is no reason for one accreditation entity only and it verges on monopoly. The curriculum provided my most schools is exactly the same for counseling psychology or professional counselors. Why add anothe layer of cost to the process? In more isolated areas this will prevent organizations from educating new counselors when mental health is a huge issue. Please allow accreditation to be handled by more than one agency
