I graduated from a master's program that was not CACREP six years ago. I obtained my LPC, LCADC, and ACS in the past six years. In working with fellow therapists and supervising therapists, I have never noticed any difference between clients from CACREP programs compared to those from other programs. In my first six years post graduation, I have had multiple people in the field comment how well trained I was in my education. To extend the amount of experience dramatically for non CARCEP schools is excessive and arbitrary.
