Long story short, he was not licensed when I started seeing him, but he still had 15 years' experience. And he's good. Previous T supervised some of his hours I know, and he's actually been in the field longer than she has.

He wasn't a licensed psychologist but he was a licensed therapist if he's an LMFT. That requires a masters in psychology which is the first part of getting a PhD. So your T just chose to advance from a masters level which is very is different from someone straight out of grad school.
