Psy.D my insurance will only cover doctor level therapists. So, our son’s t we pay out of pocket and when we did marriage counseling we had to pay out of pocket.

I voted LCSW, but actually he's an LPC. But, it seems insurance charges them the same.

ExT was a PsyD.

Interim T was a LCSW.

Group T is also an LPC.
