In Opposition to this Motion
 

Professional counselors' work is distinct from that of a psychologist, psychiatrist, or social worker, and it ought to be treated as such. Not treating it as such would be a disservice to clients who expect a well-practiced and experienced professional in the world of counseling, as well as an encroachment on LPCs' and LMFTs' individuality as their own unique discipline within the helping professions.
