I've seen 2 Psy. Ds and an LPC (masters degree level.) All of them have been good so I've been very lucky. Of all 3 I've liked the LPC by far the best, and have seen the most improvement with as well. This LPC however has a lot of experience, is well read, and really smart where as both Psy D's had less experience...
I don't think the title matters as much as the person themselves, with the exception of only MDs can prescribe medicine. If you see several T's once to evaluate them you'll definitely notice you just click more with some than others, I think that's the part that's key. It's most important that you trust their opinion and feel comfortable, and I've realized the funny thing is a lot of that is just subjective personal biases. For example, I like the LPC the best and trust his opinions the most, but I have very little personal knowledge of him to base my judgment on, it's all just gut feeling, so who knows maybe he reminds me of someone who's smart, and the Psy D. reminded me on some unconscious level of a crazy old aunt I never thought liked me... I'm just making that up, but you get the point.
