S 2 Episode 2 Credentials and Competence: How Therapy Tittles Influence Perception of Professional Values - (Hosted by NELIRA MUSE ) 3/24/2025
In episode 2, Host NELIRA MUSE addresses the differences between Associate Clinical Social Workers (ACSWs) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs). Both perform the same work, yet ACSWs are limited by their “Associate” status due to the challenges of passing a licensing exam, while LCSWs hold full licensure. This discrepancy highlights systemic issues that keep qualified professionals stuck in a cycle based solely on a title, not their abilities or experience.
We also examine racial disparities in the mental health field, focusing on the underrepresentation of Black therapists. Despite the growing Black population, Black therapists remain significantly fewer in number compared to their white counterparts. This disparity points to broader issues of access, opportunity, and the unequal distribution of resources in the mental health profession.
Tin Foil Central by NELIRA MUSE is a modern forum for thinkers, dreamers, and explorers of all kinds.
