My couples' counsellor (who is a licensed clinical psychologist) worked for 30 years in a psychiatric hospital. He semi-retired and went into private practice just a couple years ago. He is still on part-time staff at a psych hospital though (he works there one day a week).
When we chose a couples' counsellor, we specifically looked for a clinical psychologist who had experience in the psychiatric hospital system and with treating people with multiple comorbid conditions.
