As an individual who has been "declined" to register for supervision due to these changes in criteria, I agree with the statements of Dr. Chase. 

I think these changes may prove ultimately detrimental to the entire field. In my case, I am having to reconsider my career path due to what amounts to a technicality to me.  I have held the same positions as LPCs and have had the exact same clinical work load as LPC colleges.  Strangely, no has said I couldn't do that because I have a clinical psychology as opposed to a counseling degree.  I'm sure others who are affected by these changes are having the same reactions.

Please reconsider these changes in light of the valuable members of this field that you may be losing to other professions.
