When searching for treatment you may be overwhelmed by the number of distinctions associated with therapists. There are actually over half a dozen different professions that focus on mental health concerns. Each requires a varying amount of education and post grad training. Below are a few of the types of professionals you will encounter on our site, in alphabetical order:

Clinical Social Worker - Clinical Social Workers typically will have completed a Master's degree in social work and are designated Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) if they offer psychotherapy. Most programs require thousands of hours of clinical experience before the degree is awarded.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - Becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor or a Licensed Professional Counselor requires: a masters degree in counseling or a related field, completion of a minimum of two years of post-master clinical work under direct supervision of a licensed counselor, and successfully passing a state or national licensing examination.

Marriage & Family Therapist - Marriage & Family Therapists typically have a Master's degree and hundreds or thousands of hours of clinical experience. Degree requirements for MFT's vary by state. (Marriage, Family and Child Counselor is a separate designation obtainable in California, requiring 3000 of direct clinical experience, as well as a masters degree.)

Psychiatrist - Psychiatrists are medical doctors. Their training includes a four year degree from an accredited medical, as well as a psychiatric residency program thereafter. Psychiatrists typically focus on prescribing medications in conjunction with therapy.

Psychologist - Psychologists hold doctorate degrees such as a Ph.D., Psy.D., and Ed.D. Psy.D. doctorate programs focus primarily on clinical practice, whereas Ph.D. programs can focus on either clinical practice or research. No matter which doctorate is held, a psychologist can be sure to have been trained in psychological assessments, diagnosis, and a variety of disorders and psychotherapies.

Therapists listed on our website may hold one or more of the above degrees, or one of the many other degrees awarded to mental health professionals. We encourage you to contact therapists listed on the website directly to inquire about their full scope of practice.
