I agree with the need for our profession to come together more clearly and consistently around a professional identity - anchored in accreditation and portability of licensure. I've worked in two other states with an LPC and have experienced the disparity in the way counselors are viewed in comparison to other mental health helping professionals. Clarity, consistency, and anchoring standards are central to our profession growing and employment opportunities expanding. And the grandfathering clause is critical for justice and fairness.
