What is an LCSW?
Licensed Clinical Social Workers meet educational and training requirements including a Master's degree in Social Work, three years of supervised professional clinical experience and successful completion of a state examination. After receiving licensure, LCSWs are required to earn 35 continuing education units bi-annually to maintain their status. They abide by a strict code of ethics and are regulated by the State of Georgia and accountable to the Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists and Social Workers. LCSWs work with children, adolescents and adults in short or long-term therapy based on clients' needs and in a variety of different settings.
