I am an International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor--this means I can do addiction counseling and psychotherapy anywhere in the world. The ICADC is a certification by the IC & RC. To get the ICADC one has to have a CASAC or equal credential, and a whole host of requirements, then one must apply for the ICADC through one's state government (I went through NY State). The link is: http://www.icadc.org/counselor_certification.htm I also am an LMHC (NY's version of the LPC like you have), I am a USDOT SAP (federally credentialled substance abuse professional), and an ADS (an acupuncture detox specialist). After reading your comment I reread my bio. When I originally wrote it read: internationally certified, federally credentialled, and state licensed--a cumbersome mouthful so we shortened it (and also got rid of my list of other initials)--it wasn't meant to mislead. I am a stickler for credentials being clear and easy to understand and most importantly, checkable. Perhaps I should rewrite this if it is unclear--I will think this through and I appreciate your question. If you have any suggestions for me please don't hesitate to email me at info@richardzwolinski.com. I welcome your comments, questions, and advice. All the best, Richard Hi Tamara,

I'm happy to have just discovered your website. However, I do have a question for you concerning the subject of today's post . . . . Can you please tell me what an international licensed psychotherapist is and who the licensing body is? I was not aware of such a credential. Thanks so much! Tamara G. Suttle, M.Ed., LPC Hi, Steve.
