Psychoanalyst
Psychoanalyst is a license in New York for professionals who provide psychoanalysis services for clients. Requirements include a Master's or higher-level degree in any field registered by the New York State Education Department Office of the Professions. Licensed Psychoanalysts must also complete 1,500 hours of supervised work experience and pass a licensure exam. The license is similar to the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) license issued in other states.In addition, many mental health professionals who are licensed as psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists get specific training in psychoanalysis and then refer to themselves as psychoanalysts, though not as licensed psychoanalysts.
