Choosing the Right Therapist: Understanding the Differences Between LCSWs and LMFTs

I actually realized this is really biased and I apologize for it!! I didn't know what I was saying. Someone pointed out to me "Quality is more directly related to a person's dedication and adherence to the research-based training available."

@bumblebree That is very helpful thank you! We're trying to get a full mental diagnosis for my husband... We're just waiting for our Medicaid application to be accepted....... It should because we are 30% below the poverty line 😨

Also!!! LMFTs, LCSWs, and LPCs cannot do certain diagnostic testing like the MNPI (a very long and effective test for diagnosing many psych disorders) or neurocognitive evaluations (for diagnosing autism, ADHD, and cognitive impairments), so they may refer you to get diagnostic testing and come back, but they still are able to treat the issues these tests may find

MFT in training here: giving you a big thumbs up!!
