Yes, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina, a designation only given to individuals who have completed rigorous Master’s level training, completed at least 3000 hours of supervised clinical work, passed the required examinations, and completed the ongoing training required by the North Carolina Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. In addition, I have completed many more hours of training in modern psychoanalysis, play therapy, grief counseling, substance abuse, and other training.
