1 Behavioral Mental Health Care Career Guide P199, Dr. Patton Part 3. Decisions about License & Degree Program All licensed mental health care professionals no matter whether they are generalists or specialists - have to earn a graduate academic degree and complete supervised clinical work experience in order to be licensed. A license is a "quality control" credential awarded by the state - it gives you legal authority to work. Some licenses allow you to work with supervision, others allow you to engage in independent diagnosis and treatment of mental and behavioral disorders. We encourage you to think about the career you want and how you can prepare for it by following these steps: 1. Learn about the types of licenses you could hold. LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, LP or HSPP 2. Explore how various licensed mental health care careers are similar to and different from each other. What are the similarities and differences in the careers of professionals who hold LCSW, LMFT, LMHC, and LP/HSPP licenses? 3. Learn about the types of graduate degrees you could complete to earn each license. MA? MS? MSW? PhD? PsyD? 4. Investigate which licenses and graduate degree programs will be a good fit for your specific career interests. You can read about career fields and subfields and talk with professionals who hold various licenses. If you want to provide therapy to children, it s useful to know that practitioners with all 4 licenses listed above can work with any age group. If you re specifically interested in Health Psychology or Neuropsychology, it helps to know that these are subfields of Clinical Psychology. You have to become a Licensed Psychologist (LP, HSPP) to practice Neuropsychology or Health Psychology. Over the next few months or years - so you can become really confident about your career & graduate school plans you re encouraged to explore the following questions: Where do professionals with each type of license work and what roles do they play within their organization? Do they do research? Work one-on-one with clients? Teach? Are professionals with some licenses in greater demand from organizations that employ them (such as behavioral health centers, hospitals, schools, and government agencies) than professionals who hold other licenses? How diverse is the array of jobs you could hold with each license? If you wanted a change of pace after a few years in practice could you work with different age groups, diagnoses, or therapies? How long will it take you to earn your graduate academic degree? What types of classes would you take in graduate school? How many hours of supervised clinical work experience are required during and/or after graduate school before you can sit for the licensing exam? How portable is each license? You ll take your licensing exam in a particular state and you ll be licensed to practice in that state. Will you be simultaneously licensed in some other states? How easy/hard is it to get licensed in a second state? What are the salary ranges for professionals holding different types of licenses? Are professionals with this license reimbursed by private insurance plans? Public insurance plans like Medicare or Medicaid? How do professionals with this license get training in the most effective evidence-based practices? Is it typically during or after graduate school? What courses would I take in the graduate programs that lead to each type of license? 14
2 1. Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) License: The Licensed Clinical Social Worker typically has had 2-3 years of graduate training plus 2 years of clinical work experience and has completed a state-certified licensing examination.

Degree: MSW MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK To be sure that you ll be able to enroll in the courses necessary to sit for the LCSW license, you ll need to look for MSW programs that provide concentrations in mental health assessment and treatment.

While some Master s degrees programs are sufficient to prepare for the LMHC license, some are not you ll have to read the descriptions of degree programs very carefully! For example: The Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology at IUB can be followed by 4 additional courses from the Education Specialist Mental Health degree program to prepare for LMHC licensure. The Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling at Valparaiso is a 60-credit program sufficient for licensing. The Master of Science in Rehabilitation Psychology at IUPUI is not sufficient for licensure. 15

Marriage and Family Therapists broaden the traditional emphasis on the individual to attend to the nature and role of individuals in primary relationship networks such as marriage and the family. MFTs take a holistic perspective to health care; they are concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals and their families. A family's pattern of behavior influences the individual and therefore may need to be a part of the treatment plan. In marriage and family therapy, the unit of treatment isn't just the person - even if only a single person is interviewed - it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded.

Careers: Counseling psychologists help people recognize their strengths and resources to cope with their problems. Counseling psychologists do counseling/psychotherapy with individuals of all ages, families, and organizations (e.g., schools, hospitals, businesses) and sometimes teach. Counseling psychologists help promote psychological well-being and help people understand and take action on problems. School psychologists help children and youth succeed academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally. They collaborate with educators, parents, and other professionals to create safe, healthy, and supportive learning environments that strengthen connections between home, school, and the community for all students. They conduct behavioral interventions when appropriate. Clinical psychologists assess and treat mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. These range from short-term crises, such as difficulties resulting from adolescent rebellion, to more severe, chronic conditions such as schizophrenia. Some clinical psychologists treat specific problems exclusively, such as phobias or clinical depression. Others focus on specific populations: youngsters, ethnic minority groups, gays and lesbians, and the elderly, for instance. They also consult with physicians on physical problems that have underlying psychological causes. o o Health psychologists specialize in how biological, psychological, and social factors affect health and illness. Clinical neuropsychology is a sub-field of psychology concerned with the applied science of brain-behavior relationships. Clinical neuropsychologists use this knowledge in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and or rehabilitation of patients across the lifespan with neurological, medical, neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions, as well as other cognitive and learning disorders. Assessment is primarily by way of neuropsychological tests, but also includes patient history, qualitative observation and may draw on findings from neuroimaging and other diagnostic medical procedures. 16

8 Pros and Cons of Various Types of Programs. Interview a variety of professionals for additional perspectives! Masters in Social Work - LCSW License No matter what your career goal - social work (generalist), school social work, medical social work, or clinical social work - you will have to take general social work classes (during your first year especially) and typically have to do a generalist social work practicum during the first of your 2 internships before graduation. Someone with an LCSW license has the option of working in a wide variety of social work roles: mental health, school social work, medical social work, or generalist social work. LCSWs can typically be reimbursed by private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid. If you want closely supervised training in EBP and EST to treat psychological disorders you will typically have to put significant effort into finding internship(s) with expert therapists who can train you in behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems therapies and/or seek additional training during or after graduate school and/or seek employment with an organization that will train you. (You might look at the MSW Washington U in St. Louis as a positive example). M.S. Ed. & Ed.S. Counseling and Counselor Education - LMHC License The program is focused on counseling from the start. Most counseling programs present a variety of theoretical approaches with about equal emphasis, but you can search for programs that give more time and attention to those approaches that have been demonstrated to be most effective by current research - behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems therapies. Someone with an LMHC license is likely to work as a mental health counselor throughout their career but can work in a variety of positions - in private practice, in mental health facilities, in schools, or medical facilities. LMHCs can typically be reimbursed by private insurers and Medicare but not (yet) Medicaid. If you want closely supervised training in EBP and EST to treat psychological disorders you may have to put significant effort into finding internship(s) with expert therapists who can train you in behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems therapies and/or seek additional training during or after grad school and/or seek a job with an organization that will train you. Doctoral Programs in Counseling Psychology PhD or PsyD May be a best fit for people who want to teach counseling to graduate students or professionals or who want to do research. Some provide more in-depth training in counseling theories & practice than the masters in counseling. Is it worth getting a doctorate as compared to a masters? You ll have to examine the list of additional courses & training opportunities offered. Masters in Clinical Psychology - LMHC License The best programs are focused on training students to do clinical assessments and interventions throughout. They will provide a course to train you in foundational skills for psychotherapy; behavior therapies; cognitive-behavioral therapy; and offer electives in EST for special populations - such as CBT for children & adolescents. The best will teach evidence-based practice throughout and have at last one course in case conceptualization and treatment planning. Doctoral Programs in Clinical Psychology PhD or PsyD If you are intending to practice (assess and treat individuals) and you are considering PhD programs, then pay special attention to the 1-7 rating scale in the Insider s Guide to Clinical and Counseling Psychology. A program that is practice oriented may be a better fit for you than a program that is strongly research oriented. Note, however, that if you do attend a program that is research oriented and the research is focused on developing better therapeutic interventions or on implementation research (how best to train therapists in EST) you may receive extensive, excellent clinical training so that you can deliver the intervention or train therapists. Also note: You can obtain significant funding for your education if you attend a research oriented graduate program and work as a research assistant or teaching assistant. Will you be attending a research-oriented graduate program in preparation for a career as a psychological scientist or as a practitioner? READ: PsyD programs are all practice-oriented, they exist to train students to work with clients. Investigate all doctoral programs thoroughly: Carefully examine the curriculum of any/all doctoral program you re considering. PhD programs are more likely to emphasize EBP than PsyD programs. PhD programs are more likely to give more time and attention to those approaches that have been demonstrated to be most effective by current research - behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems therapies. PsyD programs are more likely to have a primarily humanistic or psychodynamic theoretical orientation (and therefore offer courses on projective tests) and less likely to emphasize EST. PsyD programs vary widely you might examine curricula and practica expectations for Loyola and Rutgers as good examples. Look up the pass rate on the EPPP licensing exam for any type of doctoral program that you re considering & ask for internship match rates. EPPP pass rates tend to be higher for PhD students than for university-affiliated PsyD graduates (Loyola, Rutgers, Baylor, University of Indianapolis ); which tend to be higher than for free-standing PsyD graduates (some schools of professional psychology.). The Insider s Guide recommends that you apply only to doctoral programs where 75% or more of the students pass the licensure exam. 21
