What is a Therapist?A therapist is a professional trained in the assessment, diagnosis, and psychotherapeutic treatment of emotional disorders. It takes two years of study after college to earn a Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) or a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling (MS). The therapist then must complete two years of supervised clinical experiences to be eligible for licensure as an LCSW or LMHC. Additional training may lead to certification as an addiction professional (CAP). All of our therapists work as members of our treatment team under the supervision of our psychiatrists. |
