Sometimes a new member registers with "Dr." or "Doc" in their usernames. We allow such registrations on a case by case basis after we verify such people's credentials.
Our only requirement for such use is that the person has a doctoral degree in psychology, or a psychiatry MD. We do not require the doctoral degree to be a clinical psychology degree, nor do we require a person to be a licensed therapist in order to use the "Dr" honorific. Such professionals are here in the capacity of only a fellow advice-giver -- not a professional. As with ALL members, we do not endorse any specific advice given. You should always consult with your own healthcare professional before trying anything you read here related to your health or mental health. Best, DocJohn __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
