What is the difference between a counselor, a social worker and a psychologist?

Each holds a different Colorado license, and the state's lookup shows which one a person holds. Professional counselors are trained in counseling, clinical social workers in clinical social work, family therapists in couples and family therapy, and psychologists hold a doctorate in psychology. Colorado also licenses social workers who are not clinical social workers, and this list leaves them out.

Where does the list of Colorado therapists come from?

It comes from the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies' open license data , which the department refreshes every night, and from the federal NPI registry. A person is listed only when both records show the same license number and the same name.

In Colorado, the document a landlord looks to is a letter from a licensed clinician.

A licensed therapist who knows you can write the letter. The Colorado guide on this site explains what the state asks of the clinician before they write it, and how to ask a landlord for the accommodation.
