As a licensed psychologist, and counseling educator, I strongly oppose the current proposal. The current proposal grants greater license portability and access to licensure in Virginia in a manner that disproportionately impacts clinicians graduated from non-CACREP programs. To date, there is no empirical evidence or body of literature that supports limitations that are disparate based on accreditation status and the quality of services provided by graduates. Offering shorter pathways to licensure for CACREP graduates limits the services that are available to communities in needs and who greatly benefit from having greater access to mental health providers.
