Therapist profiles

What is an LCSW?

A Licensed Clinical Social Worker holds a master's degree in social work and has completed the supervised clinical experience their state requires for independent practice. LCSWs diagnose and treat mental health conditions with talk therapy, and their training looks at work, family, housing, and community alongside symptoms. They cannot prescribe medication, so when medication is part of care they usually coordinate with a psychiatrist, nurse practitioner, or primary care doctor.
