health counseling student seeking licensure

Hello, I am needing a discussion post completed. I am a mental health counseling student seeking licensure in TN. I have attached all instructions. Please message me if you have any questions. Thanks

Most people are familiar with the idea of mental health counseling services and what they entail in general—but they may not be aware of all the different kinds of services, or the various types of practitioners who offer these different services. There are numerous types of counseling services that can help in a variety of ways:

some are general, and can help with issues such as physical illness, loss, and relationships, and some are more specific, such as those that help individuals coping with anxiety and depression, bipolar disorder, parenting, addiction, and marriage counseling. Mental health counseling services can also be tailored to different demographics, such as the elderly and children.

Types of Mental Health Counseling Services

There are certain mental health professionals who are licensed for a particular type of therapy or service. Below are just a few of the mental health counseling services that are available.

Clinical social workers are usually available in hospitals or in a hospital-like setting, and will be able to make diagnoses, as well as provide individual and group counseling. They also help with the study, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses.

Clinical social workers can be an invaluable source of information for individuals and families, helping them find additional resources and referrals so the patient can continue to progress after leaving the hospital setting. There are also license social workers who work in these same settings. While they are not normally focus on diagnosing, they are often just as

helpful in assisting patients when finding appropriate referrals and resources.

Clinical social workers can also work in the private sector, with the same abilities as a licensed professional counselor. Sometimes this confuses people who are seeking a counselor, but find a clinical social worker instead; but a social worker with the clinical status has completed the necessary education and licensure (similar to what a licensed professional counselor has). Clinical social workers are also able to accept Medicare payments, which can make them a good fit for elderly patients.
