I would give them permission for you to verify my address and telephone number. (Of course you would have to call me to verify..or even send a letter to my address, the one the social work license board would give to you.) I think that is pretty fail-proof. What do you think?
I've even be willing to send in a resume..and/or answer questions regarding specific therapy techniques, and how I use them. (I could even send in the 'mock' videotaped interviews we did in the SW program in college.:-)Thanks...
