I don't care about the degree. As long as they are fully licensed. In my younger years, it had to be a psychiatrist with an Ivy League pedigree to do my therapy (no medications). me now, the therapist has to be over a certain age (50) because they have more life experience. If the therapist only has a year or two of solo experience, but the meet my age qualification I would not shy away from working with them.

Good to you for going back to school. I wish you well.
