I am finishing up my clinical mental health program and will be a LPC. I want to get guidance on how to make income in the interim before I get my actual license from my state. I am looking for any workarounds (I.e. can we “coach” vs counseling, group work ) can we still counsel our clients ?

LCSW here, but we have the same issue. I will say most that I’ve chatted with in this field (have 2 years post licensing as well) unfortunately have to work for a company or the government/non profit that works with the government that can approve your hours. I know a few that went private right away and took close to 2 to 3 years longer than needed (my state is 18 month) to get their licenses since the state would not accept their hours or supervision. They also had to pay for their supervision hours which can get pricey……I did find one company that can approve hours that was private practice, but took a 46% cut for each client to get that.

Does your state offer a LAPC license for pre licensed therapists?

My understanding is the the coaching world is more lucy-goosie. Insurances do not cover so you’d have to market yourself. Most people want to know you’re licensed and experienced. Maybe you can work at a crisis center, that’s great experience and they tend to hire non licensed people. Just a thought

Looking for guidance on billing for therapy services as a LMSW under supervision contract of LCSW-S at my agency. Anyone has issues with certain insurances (private vs medicaid/medicare). What about with self pay clients?

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone here has had a great week! I am new to the healthcare field and fishbowl. I recently started a position for a large hospital in my area that is struggling to recruit Music/Art Therapists.

I am hoping to educate myself and gain information and valuable resources to better aid me in my career. Are there any Music/Art Therapists in this fishbowl or anyone that can give me insight as to the requirements for this specialization?

Kind regards,
