Glossary of
Mental Health Professions,
Certifications, Licenses & Acronyms
This is a pretty complicated resource since licenses, terminologies and standards will vary by country, state and province.
Our goal is to continue adding to it over time (and correcting any misinformation as it comes up) with the help of YOU, the community. We try our best to be right about everything... but hey, we are not perfect.
***Knowing the educational background of a professional does not mean that they are the right fit. Do your homework and educate yourself about the credentials of anyone you hire for support. Even then, it might take time to find "the one". Be proactive but also be patient. This is the best investment you can make... so make it a good one! (unless you are in an emergency situation... then call your local emergency number and get to a hospital).
