Mine is an LSCW and the first time I called her by her first name she really flinched. That was weird but then again she's a bit rigid. now she is accustomed to it.

More interesting how does T address us? We are the people seeking care and we are more important in the equation. Not the credentialed LCSW, PsyD, PhD or MD. We need to hear our names and get a smile of welcome.

Admittedly the dynamics are interesting but there is no one way to address a T. It is their job to deal with it as long as we arent calling them bad names. Not too often anyway
