It's clear that we are in a mental health crisis. More people than ever are needing support after the last several years and choosing to create a rule that prevents therapists from practicing in the state of Virginia is the last thing we need. CACREP schools have not been shown to produce better clinicians, they just show they abide by new set of rules someone made up. tomorrow, some other accreditation board can make up another set of rules. Have a clinician apply and provide references if you want to gauge their qualifications. Basing that choice on their school is clearly just made up to put an arbitrary barrier in place that will prevent clients from getting much-needed care. You aren't guaranteeing folks good care, you're guaranteeing fewer options.
