To take away a professional counselor's career is an injustice. These counselors have paid a high cost in tuition and longs hours of decication to their work in making a difference to our cities and our country.  What is the purpose of this attack?  Studies show that counselors performance level is just as good as any other counseling profession. Or practicing with or without the title of CACREP does not make us better counsellors. I understand they want to make a standard but why can't the present counsellors be grandfather in? Why do they have to throw us under the bus? We as counselors need to ban together for our profession and the universities that educated should stand behind their education as well.
