So I have always seen Ts with Ph.Ds...I think because I got biased as I grew up seeing one with a Ph.D for over 10 years...and I sort of thought they "knew more" because of the degree.
The T that terminated with me in 2010 was excellent, very knowledgable and helpful. My T right now, although kind, has not been overly helpful as far as helping me make progress...so I have been slowly working towards terminating with him and finding someone else. His recent thoughtlessness has made me move forward at a quicker pace as of late, and I have now seen this guy who has a MSW and is a LCSW about 4 times total. I never thought I would see someone w/out a Ph.D, which might sound snotty, but I was just stuck on the "I need a Ph.D" idea.
This guy, however, was recommended by my pdoc (who I actually like, and I generally don't like them as a whole, ha)...and I am really liking his approach. He seems to be able to identify what I need and says he can help me with grieving, which is my current big issue that is causing alot of my depression.
Just wondering if anyone had any opinion on the degrees or any thoughts to share. Thanks!
