I've been reading conflicting info where some people say that it doesn't matter which degree I have that people don't care when they select a T and others say that a MSW is far more respected. So when you're shopping for a new T, are you looking for a particular degree? My current T happens to be a Licensed Psychologist with a PhD, but that was not a factor when I chose her as I did not care whatsoever what degree she had. My old T, who I refer to as, "Blank Slate T" was a MSW.
Would love to hear any and all thoughts.

Actually, I am looking into the same thing atm. I personally feel that the MSW has less focus on the mental health aspect than the MHC degree, which makes it more interesting for me.
Have you looked at the coursework?
My T is a LISW, but I did not look for that, really.
She told me the same thing, tho. In the end, passing the licensure is what really matters.
Ill follow this thread.
