The Commonwealth of Virginia should correct the proposed policy to insure that all Maryland Counselors, whether graduating from a CACREP or non-CACREP program, should be able to transfer their license after three years of practice. Virtually every school in Maryland up to three years ago was not accredited by CACREP and this included a number of the nation's most respected graduate programs in counseling, such as Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland, Towson, Bowie State, UB, among many other respected universities. CACREP will not recognize the graduates of Counseling Psychology Programs, and this policy stance by the accrediting body marginalizes the graduates of these programs. Counseling Psychology has been a major contributor to the development of professional counseling, and excluding these programs and graduates is puzzling and injurious to the profession, given their immense intellectual contributions.
