LPC Standards
 

I would ask that you revisit aspects of the revised regulations that are making it difficult for valuable and highly qualified mental health clinicians to pursue licensure as professional counselors.  I know of several individuals who have been impacted by these changes, and it would be unfortunate if they chose to pursue another profession/line-of-work because of the difficulties they have encountered.  Thank you for your consideration.
