This violates parents' rights and free speech rights of therapists
 

Parents have the natural right, and legal rights under the Constitution and Virginia law, to exercise authority in the upbringing of their children. They need  the freedom to seek counseling and assistance from professionals of their choice. And professionals have free speech rights. The state should not be limiting what they can say to their clients.  This violates the privacy of that client/therapist relationship.  These regulations are unlawful, harmful, and unreasonable.
