Therapy Business Cards – What’s Allowed

Next stop, the card.  What to include?  How to design?  Where to purchase?

First up, gotta get the rules straight.  Figuring out what your state board allows and forbids takes some poking around.  Here, some potentially helpful links:

APA Practice (probably has PsyD/PhD guidelines–I’m not one, so no access)
ASWB (links to rules and regs by state)
CA Board of Behavioral Sciences (pdf)

For social workers:  If you’re going to advertise “psychotherapy,” looks like you’ve got to write out your license name–e.g., “Licensed Clinical Social Worker,” and not “LCSW.”  At least in California.
