Keep the professions separate
 

As a future counselor, this bill harms my profession. Do not pass this unless I can become a LCSW or LCP with just years of work as a counselor. This attempt to encroach on the counseling profession shows a lack of respect for the supervision, education, and examination hours that are required to become a counselor. We have a role to fill, keep the professions separate.
