I oppose this petition!
 

As a licensed professional counselor, I strongly oppose this idea.  Having a BS in psychology and a M.Ed. and PhD in Counselor Education, I am well aware the differences posed in these two very different disciplines.  I had the option of choosing Counseling or Psychology for my graduate studies and made my choices based on the distinct philosophical differences. I appreciate what the two fields offer and would like to make the distinction clear by not sharing a licensure from two different Master’s Program. Please keep my licensure clear and void of confusion.
