FAQ’s
What is the difference between a Licensed Clinician and a Registered Intern Clinician?
Registered Intern are therapists who have all graduated with their Masters in either Mental Health, Social Work, or Marriage and Family Therapy. However, they have not finished their Post-Master Requirements to be a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. The post-master requirements to be licensed in the state of Florida are: at least 2 years of post master internship, a specified number of clinical hours, a specified number of supervision hours, and a list of specific continuing education workshops. Thus, Registered Interns are under the supervision of a Licensed Clinician. Supervision requires that the Licensed Clinician and the Registered Intern meet on a regular bases to go over his or her cases. A Licensed Clinician has met all the requirements for the state to be fully licensed in their field of study and are no longer under supervision.
Should I take medication or go into psychotherapy?
Research has shown that the long-term solution to mental and emotional problems and the pain they cause cannot be solved solely by medication. Instead of just treating the symptom, therapy addresses the cause of our distress and the behavior patterns that curb our progress. You can best achieve sustainable growth and a greater sense of well-being with an integrative approach to wellness. Working with your medical doctor, you can determine what’s best for you. Furthermore, in some cases a combination of both medication and therapy is the right course of action.
I’ve never talked to anyone. I’m used to handling things on my own. Aren’t people who go to therapy weak?
On the contrary. People who ask for help know when they need it and have the ability to reach out. Everyone needs help now and then. You already have some strengths that you’ve used before, that for whatever reason isn’t working right now. Perhaps this problem feels overwhelming and is making it difficult to access your past strengths. In our work together, I’ll help you identify what those strengths are and how to implement them again in what is happening now.
What’s the difference between talking to you or my best friend or family?
The difference is between someone who can do something, and someone who has the training and experience to do that same thing professionally. A mental health professional can help you approach your situation in a new way– teach you new skills, gain different perspectives, listen to you without judgment or expectations, and help you listen to yourself. Furthermore, therapy is completely confidential. You won’t have to worry about others “knowing my business.” Lastly, if your situation provokes a great deal of negative emotion, if you’ve been confiding in a friend or family member, there is the risk that once you are feeling better you could start avoiding that person so you aren’t reminded of this difficult time in your life.
