Most states require a minimum of a Masters in Social Work or PhD in Clinical Psychology, and passing a state licensing examination. Professionals must also comply with ongoing training requirements after licensing.
Becoming a psychotherapist typically requires a master's or doctoral degree which can take 5-7 years to complete. Additionally, post-graduate supervised clinical experience and licensure exams are required, which could take an additional 2-3 years. In total, it may take around 7-10 years to become a fully licensed psychotherapist.
The course of study and the process of licensure varies from state to state. Psychiatrists (medical doctors with a psychiatric specialty), Licensed PhD Psychologists, and Master's-level licensed therapists can all perform psychotherapy. Licenses that require a Master's degree, internship, and licensing exams include Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT's), Licensed Clinical Social Workers, and Licensed Professional Counselors. Not all states have licensure for MFT's or for LPC's. Some states (California is an example) have parity between licensures, and in that case, have parallel CLINICAL training training requirements.
Other words for a psychotherapist are the following: analyst, therapist, psychoanalyst, psychiatric therapist, shrink, and consultant ;]
