Frustrated
 

My previous comments came from a position of frustration at having seen the board not consider alternatives to the CACREP-only decision for licensure eligibility when 95% of hundreds of comments suggested opposition or posed alternatives to consider that I saw the board ignore or brush aside during their review.  I do think limiting residency supervision is a mistake, and an offense to those of us who originally came from outside the field of counseling but who have devoted our careers to developing counselors, and I do think that such a decision will necessarily limit the future growth of LPCs in Virginia to those sites where LPC supervisors already exist.  I hope the board will decide otherwise.
