[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be aware that anyone can become a therapist. Anyone.  The training and supervision for many therapists comes from other therapists who charge them  for thousands of hours  to reach certification. It's a money making business, for sure, and the supervision part is very lucrative.  I know many therapists in the field that I am in- family therapists, relationship therapists,  or children's therapists who actually don't have, and never had families of their own and have trouble staying in a relationship themselves.  But they love being the  judge in things they are insecure about to begin with, and are often quite unstable.

So,  there's that.  
And, all, I mean all mothers end up being labeled narcissists. It's a buzz word now, among other therapy speak adages.

Not everyone can become a licensed, independent practitioner, who can bill insurance companies and render diagnoses.  Would you not check the credentials of a physician you go to?  It’s no different.

The training comes with the education, which is provided by nationally-accredited training programs in various disciplines (psychology, social work, counseling, etc.).  Supervision is part of training and licensure - again, the same as it is for physicians.  You know a resident physician isn’t yet board-certified, right?  Same thing as someone who, for example, completed their PhD in clinical psychology and is under the supervision of a licensed therapist until they can sit for licensure exams.  If the postdoc is at a hospital, supervision is subsumed under that organization.  You seem to be railing against supervision from private practitioners, which makes no sense if you ultimately want well-qualified psychotherapists.[/quote]
