Not here. The majority of therapists here are licensed counselors or MSW's or nurse practitioners. The psychologists mainly do testing. The pdocs mainly do prescribing. Some psychologists do therapy, as do some pdocs.
But counselors have a masters degree in counseling. It's a program oriented to clinical therapy. They're subject to ongoing professional education requirements, supervision, etc.
I'm relatively sure it's illegal to hang up a therapy shingle without a license here. And the type of licenses that are allowed to practice in the state are limited by the state legislature.
So watch what you say about my mommy... er... therapist. :D
