Health has the following types of clinicians to offer:
Psychologists
Psychologists have doctoral degrees (Ph.D., Ed.D.,
Psy.D.) from graduate programs approved by the American Psychological Association.
Clinical psychologists also have a one-year clinical internship, and one to two
years of post-doctoral supervised experience is generally required for
licensure. Clinical and counseling psychologists have specialized training in
many diagnostic and psychotherapeutic techniques.
Clinical Social Workers
A clinical social worker must have a college degree,
plus at least two years of graduate training in a
program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
Certified social workers have a master's or
doctoral degree in Social Work (MSW, DSW, or Ph.D.)
from a program approved by the Council on Social Work
Education, have had two years of post-degree
experience in the practice of social work, and must
have passed an examination given by the Academy of
Certified Social Workers (ACSW).
Psychiatrists
A Psychiatrist must have a medical degree. Although
technically an individual can practice psychiatry
having had four years of medical school and a one-year
medical internship, most psychiatrists continue their
training in a three-year residency program in
psychiatry. Psychiatrists who have Board certification
have had two years of post-residency experience
practicing psychiatry and must have passed an
examination given by the American Board of Psychiatry
and Neurology.
