Thank you for the opportunity to state my strong opposition to the plan to institute a discriminatory policy for licensed professional counselors. The blatant discrimination requiring a major hurdle for those who don't graduate from a CACREP-accredited program is an embarrassment for the profession. I worry about the continued viability of the profession when parties such as CACREP pursue such divisive and self-serving policies. Please reject the proposed plan.
