LCSW - only have a BS degree & may be working on a masters
therapists - usually have a masters degree
Psychologist - has to have their PhD - cannot prescribe medications as they are NOT medical Doctors.
Psychiatrists (who prescribe psych meds).....have to have be medical doctors with their specialty being psychiatry vs other MD's who have other types of specialties & or general practitioners (GP's)
