I support this petition 100%. I am not currently in the mental health field however I graduated from the master's of psychology program at Radford University with a concentration in clinical psychology. It consisted of many hours of counselor training and culminated in an internship which placed me in the field as a mental health counselor. From my experience I was as prepared as other mental health counselors who had a different degree. Please consider this program and others like it for licensure. The program at RU has produced many fine graduates who are well trained to be counselors and clinicians.
