Concerned Licensed Professional Counselor
 

This is a restriction of trade and there is no empirical evidence to support such a decision. This is politically biased in favor of CACREP and as a Licensed Professional Counselor I could not support the proposed change. There is too much scientific literature that demonstrates the effectiveness of psychologists and their ability to train counselors. There are supervision textbooks written by psychologist that are used in CACREP programs that train counselors. How can one restrict psychologist from supervising counselors?
