[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being a psychotherapist doesn’t necessitate a doctorate. There are many licensed masters level therapists: LCSW, LCPC, LMFT but clearly none of those should be referred to as Dr. I’m an LCSW and have a PhD in an unrelated field so technically I’m Dr Larla but I’d NEVER use that in a clinical setting bc it would give the impression I had a PhD in social work.

FWIW I’m not kooky or new age at all and “manifesting” is definitely not a research-based therapeutic intervention! But I also don’t take insurance. Lots of us don’t because we can run more efficient private practices if they are cash pay and clients submit for reimbursement. I know it’s not ideal. [/quote]

But there’s no indication that the therapist has used “Dr” in a clinical setting. The OP found this on “social media”.  [/quote]

That is to say, when I bring up the link to my appointment, I see the words Dr. Smith is available. During sessions, there is a chat box which says, "send Dr. Smith a message". I googled the living hell out of her and she simply does not have the credentials or education to call herself Dr. Not in any capacity.

No. It's on the link to the therapy portal. "Dr." Larla Smith is acailable.[/quote][/quote]
