Find a Therapist in Pinecrest

The list includes licensed marriage and family therapists, licensed clinical social workers and licensed professional counsellors.

Licensing here runs state by state rather than nationally. Where a practitioner works decides which rules apply to them, and which register holds them. The cities below are the places with practitioners listed here. Each city page carries the people who practise there.

In the United States what you pay depends on your insurance as much as on the therapist, and many therapists do not take insurance directly. Where cost is the obstacle, community mental health centres charge on an income-assessed basis and many practices hold reduced-fee places they do not advertise.

There is no single national licence for therapists in the United States. Every state, and the District of Columbia, licenses through its own boards under its own practice law. Psychologists, counsellors, social workers and family therapists therefore each answer to a board in the state where they practise, under whatever title that state uses.

TherapyRoute's guide to how mental health licensing works state by state, and how to check a licence yourself sets out the steps. The Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards keeps one directory of every state and territory board.

Each board's own licence-verification search sits beside its entry. Start there, with the state where your therapist practises. That directory covers psychology boards. Counsellors, social workers and marriage and family therapists answer to different boards in the same states.

For those titles, ask which board and which state. For a psychologist, verify with the ASPPB directory of state and provincial licensing boards. For the other titles, use that state board's own licence lookup.

Each state words its licences differently, for example Licensed Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Licensed Professional Counselor or Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

States license some counselling occupations and not others, so the word counsellor or therapist alone does not show a licence.
