opposed
 

I am writing in opposition to a change in the law that would restrict profesional counselors from receiving supervision from mental health professionals including psychologists or other licensed behavioral health specialists.  Not only would this change negatively impact / restrict counselors seeking supervision and licensure, it also, ultimately, restricts access to healthcare for members of the public in need of mental health services.
