I oppose this law that discriminates counselor license portability
 

I oppose any provision or law that proposes to discriminate counselor license portability. The current proposal in Virginia favors only CACREP graduate programs even though many accredited universities meet or exceed the standards of CACREP programs. Virginia needs excellent mental health services for its citizens and this proposal limits availability of highly educated, qualified, and experienced counselors.
