We can help! Anthony Centore Ph. I am an integrative psychotherapist living in London, UK. I have been practicing for over 7 years. I am moving back to Massachusetts, where would be the best place to start getting information about practicing there? I am not familiar with any of the appropriate licensure and "titles". I have an MA in integrative arts psychotherapist and I am a certified art therapist.
Many thanks. I have been told as an intern, of which now I have since obtained my M. I have called certain Missouri legislators and also the American Counseling Association and they have not gotten back to me.
I have created my cards and want to know will it be okay to hand these out. I only ordered a very small number in case I found out that this was not okay. But being aware that you can have a practice in the state of Missouri without a license, I did not see the harm.
I was told this information by a licensed therapist. I did a little research on my own but have not found a straight answer. Are you able to answer this question for me? Thank you so much for your time I enjoy your site.
I know I need to wait until I am fully licensed in GA. I this possible? I love this field and want to do so much. For example, Grand Canyon University employs online enrollment counselors who interact with potential students, encourage them to enroll in Grand Canyon University and provide information about educational options at the school.

Students and Clinical Supervision Students pursuing degrees in fields related to counseling typically have to accumulate clinical hours.
Crisis Counseling Crisis counselors staff crisis lines for people who are experiencing serious and potentially life-threatening challenges. Such an exam can be particularly important for counselors licensed in other states who may have considerable professional expertise, but may lack familiarity with practice guidelines and restrictions in their new state. Most states require professional counselors to earn continuing education credits on an annual or biennial basis in order to renew their credentials.
Refer to Appendix E for state continuing education requirements. All states require that counselors conduct themselves ethically, in accordance with generally accepted standards of practice.

State Professional Counselor Licensure Boards. Being a shoulder to lean on and an ear to hear do not require degrees nor insurance. Thank you Leah! I enjoyed your feedback on this article.
No one said you have to go, that is an excuse. Take responsibility for your actions. The girls Laura and Leah never spoke un-kind, but it is appalling when one reads the so-called professionals call these women disrespectful, ignorant, wrong, and even dumb.
Your commitment has nothing to do with arresting and prosecuting a person out of contempt. It is no-one fault for your choices. Either way, at least admit to yourself that no one is perfect.
Psychology is not flawless. If not perfect then it is more harm to try and shut down all other practices. People are not stupid. They choose who they want to help them based on what their needs are.
If they choose you great, if not, have you no shame? Hallelujah — yes, Amanda — thank you! Seek education and degrees first because of what you will learn, and only secondarily because of licensing doors that get opened. People with degrees and licenses will always be at a professional and economic advantage. Be humble and be kind, people.
I work in primary care. The world needs all the help we can get. Big deal, tho, if I am so inflexible that I discount others who clearly have the passion to help others. And even get paid for it! Personally I prefer to not bill insurance. Just a fact. Over the last 10 to 15 years there has been a movement in the mental health fields to uplift and validate this profession.
We have worked exceptionally hard to obtain our education and the many thousands of hours that go into licensing. Consider that we have something to protect, and this is why some of us may come off sounding threatened. Each one of us is valid and everyone of us can help others licensed or not.
If a life coach can help a person get through major obstacles and over blocks in their lives by setting goals and doing worksheets, well that is one less miserable in the world. That is a beautiful thing. Honestly if you are a good psychotherapist, then you should have no worries about what someone else is doing. This also reminds me of when NP could take an extra class and become PMHNP with the ability to write medication and now can practice on their own without a supervising physician.
What makes a good clinician is the outcome of their hard work. The patients progress and results are what matters. Not your degree. You obviously lacking compassion towards people, I would not want to have a ruthless counselor like you to try to solve my issues even with your useless papers. All I care is that I will be helped efficiently and humanly. I avoid you far away. This is interesting.
Maybe you feel insecure in your practice and ability to help others, so you feel threatened by someone you think has less clinical and educational experience? This is a public forum and none of you are acting like professional mental health workers. A lot of have the same education and probaly more than you. I license is just another way at be allowed to practice like when you register your business with the secretary of state.
It is in purpose to fund the state to practice. Like when you open up a bar and grill you have to get a license to sell liquor. If you get the right protection of disclaimer. You are just as. As a therapist, you should also believe having a support system is a necessity. Additionally, you should realize the need for people in some mental health capacity.
No person is exempt from being depressed or anxious in their life. We must support and lift up all those who choose to dedicate themselves to the psychic care of others. We must honor both the empirical study and practice of psychology as it has evolved since the mid 19th century, as well as shamanic and folk traditions which have evolved over countless millennia. Do you support them name calling? Did they learn to express themselves from the I while earning their therapy degree?
I use myself because I agree with and practice as Lori does. Did they forget? Why did they forget? Is it because they are emotional about what was shared? If so, why are they emotional?
I work among clinicians. The best way for me to help clinicians understand what I do is to practice with them what I do. As exhibited as above. Learning happens everywhere. Nor does it mean a person without your kind of license is causing it. After Apples came Androids. After Fords came Volkswagens. After Psychologists came Clinical Social Workers. After Clinical Social Workers came Peers.
After Peers came people who just want to connect and feel empowered with People who can skillfully facilitate this. Why do you feel the need to control what I do? Are you worried about my causing harm to others?
What do we have in common? Are people like me important enough to ask and find out? I think you are so …. We now have a new crop, EFT practitioners.
They purport to treat ptsd, chemical dependency, anxiety, depression, and other dsm diagnoses emphasizing trauma. They are taught to practice without degrees. There are many licensed professionals who openly support non-professionals to practice with acute and chronic clientele.
I am in a training seminar as i write this with a psychiatrist, who is known for reporting practitioners for his perception of them violating scope of practice, and he is supporting this activity.
Licensure and education rules and statutes are terribly enforced nationwide. While i believe this is a useful tool and approach, i am deeply concerned about non-trained non-professionals doing this. I dont practice law or medicine without a license…. And I thank you for that! I understand that Life Coaches start with what can we do moving forward, but the past always comes back until it is addressed and treated.
