This regulation will hurt several graduating students, current mental health professionals, and those wanting to become a mental health professional by decreasing the amount of people who can go into an already dimishing field.  We need more mental health workers in VA, and if you limit this ability from Psychology Masters students then you are hurting the community more than anything.  Do NOT pass this legislation! If you care about the mental health and well-being of VA citizens, allow Masters psychology students to have the ability and right to earn an LPC and help more people.
