CHOOSING A THERAPIST
Perhaps you've been more and
more depressed lately. Possibly
you're burdened by a personal loss.
Maybe you can no longer bury trau-
matic events from your past. It could
be the stress of a more complicated
life which overwhelms the coping
skills that used to serve you well.
There are many reasons one might
need to find a good therapist. But
how do you choose the right one for
you?
Consider the importance of getting
to know someone with whom you are
about to enter a serious relationship.
Find out if the therapist has experience
dealing with your issues. Determine if
the person "speaks your language."
Ask about fees and what happens if
your insurance doesn't cover the
service or when your benefits expire.
What credentials should your
therapist have? Although the State of
Michigan authorizes clinical social
workers, psychiatrists, and clinical
psychologists to receive insurance
reimbursement, anyone can refer to
herself/himself as a therapist or a
counselor. Along with their diploma,
therapists should display their license
or certification to practice in their
offices.
You may not be aware that choos-
ing a social worker at an agency
accredited by the Council on Accredi-
tation, such as Jewish Family Service,
assures you that certain standards are
met. Our Clinical Social Workers
must:

- protect client confidentiality and
safeguard other client rights which
are mandated by Board policy and
explained to each client.
- have a Masters in Social Work
degree.
- be certified by the State of
Michigan
-fulfill ongoing educational require-
ments
- have professional supervision by
someone with advanced creden-
tials,
- follow a code of ethics of the
National Association of Social
Workers and/or the Federation of
Clinical Societies.
Additionally, Jewish Family Service
offers its clinical staff the advantage of
ongoing consultation and supervision.
To broaden their knowledge base,
outside professionals are engaged to
discuss such topics as eating disorders,
playtherapy:working with children,
short term treatment and other issues.
When choosing a therapist, please
remember that the Clinical Social
Workers at Jewish Family Service
meet all the qualifications of their pro-
fession. We are committed to provid-
ing you with high quality professional
services in a friendly and supportive
environment.
When you don't know where to
turn, turn to the professionals at
Jewish Family Service. We are here
to serve you.
