CACREP has created a training model that can strengthen counselor training and unite counselors. Using CACREP training standards as a metric for license portability makes sense. These standards are already in place, and if Virginia Board of Counseling creates its own requirements for portability, they will be almost identical to training standards already set in place by CACREP.  I agree that the counseling profession needs more unity in order to achieve the goals of the profession. CACREP is a response to the need for unity.  If we do not recognize the validity of CACREP training, then what will be we as a profession? Continue with the status quo of diverse state requirements and definition of services? Or perhaps form differing accreditation standards more palatable to institutions who decline to pursue CACREP standards?  Declining the CACREP requirement for license portability makes the process unnecessarily more complicated.
