I am the owner and director of Congruent Counseling Services, a growing practice in Maryland.  If VA imposes such an unfair law, I will not open my planned office in Virginia.  There were no CACREP Accredited colleges in MD until after I graduated in 1998.  Punishing me, and other licensed counselors for not attuning a CACREP School, particular when Maryland licenser requirement exceeds that of CACREP programs, is unfair, unreasonable, and only political.  CACREP only seeks to establish itself as a political entity and has no greater value than other programs.  this is all political.  I am disgusted by this attempt to disenfranchise experienced licensed therapists.
