bans on what psychologists and counselors can say
 

i am totally opposed to a regulatory ban on what psychologists and counselors can say to their clients.  There is no such thing as “conversion therapy”. Counselors need to be able to treat their clients in the best way possible, with no restrictions. Parents and clients should be able to receive the type of help they want and need. There should be no laws or bans hindering them. We do still honor the First Amendment, don’t we?
