Once again, the CACREP organization seems to be restricting public access to counseling by imposing licensing requirements that align with CACREPs accreditation process.  This nibbling away at those able to provide services discourages graduate programs not endorsed by CACREP.  That, in turn, limits the number of qualified counselors available to provide services.  

State licensing is in place and can be used for portability as the ACA proposal makes clear.
