Hi all! I am in my final semester of undergrad and I am considering getting either a Ph.D. in Clinical/Counseling Psychology or a MSW (to become a LCSW).
I live in Texas and it seems as if the Psychologist to LCSW clinicians in private practice ratio is 50/50, however, I have been wondering if the LCSW's have any difficulty getting clients compared to a Psychologist. I currently work in a clinical internship and I have talked to a LCSW there, she told me that it really doesn't matter because clients don't really have a preference.
If you are a LCSW have you experienced the same? If not, how do you make yourself a competitive clinician?
