The answers may surprise you – there’s not a whole lot of difference between any of them! All licenses can practice therapy independently and are all licenses awarded by the state after an individual meets strict requirements. The main difference can be found in the educational approach received during their degree programs.
- Social workers are trained at the individual, family, group, and community levels.
- Counselors are trained with an emphasis on individuals.
- Marriage and family therapists are trained, unsurprisingly, with an emphasis on marriage and family!
Don’t overthink this, though! All the therapists are trained out of the same books, with the same theories, applying the same principles to the therapy relationship. The credentials behind their name should reassure you that they’re qualified and not cause confusion when selecting the best therapist!
We offer several services to our clinicians, such as:
