I encourage you NOT to adopt legislation that would limit only counselors with CACREP credentials to practice in Virginia. This does a huge disservice to several constituencies, most importantly the public who need mental health providers and secondarily to the many many program graduates and current students in non-CACREP programs. CACREP promotes itself as the "gold standard" in training but they have no evidence to support this. There are a couple of very biased studies that they like to cite about their supposed quality but these studies are poorly done and have been disputed in the field. They also have the potential to restrict trade and have several questionable conflicts of interest.
