Whats the difference between an LCSW, a Social Worker, a psychologist and a psychiatrist?
While it can sound confusing, don’t let this overwhelm you. There are a number of professionals who can legally provide clinical psychotherapy, three of which are the most common and the most highly monitored by state license. All three must maintain licenses and must stay clinically current (among other requirements) to do so. All three require advanced clinical training and are required to obtain continuing education.
