It is important to feel comfortable with your therapist. It is a good idea to talk to more than one professional before choosing the one with whom you will work. See the Guide to Treatment for a list of questions you may want to ask a therapist before beginning treatment.
The professionals on this list are not screened by the ADAA and the descriptions of their practices are their own.
CREDENTIALS
Each listing includes the academic and/or professional degree(s) of the practitioner; these take the form of abbreviations following the practitioner's name. See the Credential Abbreviations list to determine the meanings of the abbreviations.
Professionals generally fall into one of three categories: licensed professional, non-licensed professional, and layperson specialist. Licensed professionals include psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other counselors licensed by their state to practice psychotherapy. Non-licensed professionals usually have a Master's degree in a mental health field. In some cases they may be unlicensed because their state does not offer or require a license in their professional category. Layperson specialists are often people who have recovered from an anxiety disorder and provide assistance to others. Requirements for the practice of psychotherapy vary from state to state. It is a good idea to ask a therapist about his training and credentials before beginning treatment.
