charlajustin - I think it doesn't mean you don't really have OCD, it means you just haven't realized yet that you're Jewish Maybe with more therapy....just kidding of course.

I've never worked with a CSW. I've seen a psychologist who was not bad, two psychiatrists (who did therapy too) - one was ok, one was great - and the best therapist I ever saw was completely unlicensed in any way. That one was really fantastic - he did work in an office with 3 PhDs so I figured he couldn't be a total quack or they'd know. I do think he had a Master's in psychology - but I don't think it was counseling psychology, if that even matters. I know he wasn't licensed with the state because I checked. I didn't care though, he was great and that was all that mattered to me.

Good luck in your search. Keep checking them out till you find someone you like - even if you have to go through a lot of duds.
