My previous comments came from a position of frustration at having seen the board apparently not consider alternatives to the CACREP-only decision for licensure eligibility when 95% of hundreds of comments suggested opposition or posed alternatives to consider that I saw the board seemed to ignore or brush aside during their review. I do think limiting residency supervision is a mistake, and an offense to those of us who originally came from outside the field of counseling but who have devoted our careers to developing counselors, and I do think that such a decision will necessarily limit the future growth of LPCs in Virginia to those sites where LPC supervisors already exist. I hope the board will decide otherwise.
