Hello LCATS!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say a bit about the whole art therapy thing. I have my ATR-BC and an LCAT. If you are planning to move out of the state do not even bother the arduous process. I did and moved 2 years later and my NY LCAT is null and void here in California and has no reciprocity. The Board of Behavioral Sciences will not even dialog with me! In fact guess what? California's legislation just went through with something called an LPCC, which I am going to attempt to apply for, but it turns out I have a bunch of classes to take. Everyone here in California graduates with a masters in art therapy and an LMFT! Then they get a job. LMFT, LCSW or a licensed psychologist is recognized here. My advice: Get something other than art therapy on your credential list. LCAT is way to specific. It has been 1.3 years and I am struggling here more than I ever did in NY. NYS is much more ahead of the times with art. Everyone here is in private practice with at least one other license. I would re-think the entire process with my 20/20 vision.
