I agree with the comments of Do No Harm. As a licensed supervisor I observe mental heath counseling is a highly nebulous field, as in no 2 cases are the same, and it is not as easy as an antibiotic, so to speak, prescription to cure. Even the best prepared  LPCs on gaining licensure are still very green. Very green with much to learn. I absolutely disagree with lowering any LPC entry standards or requirements across-the-board.
