Therapists are bound by state licensing laws, which are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of clients by regulating the quality of care provided. Each state has its own set of standards and requirements for training, education, and practice, meaning therapists are specifically trained and licensed to work within their state’s regulations.
While state licensing laws are essential for maintaining ethical and quality care, they can sometimes feel limiting for clients—especially those who move between states, travel frequently, or live near state borders. These restrictions can make it harder to maintain continuity in the therapeutic relationship, which is so important for growth and healing. At The Therapy Group, we understand how frustrating this can be, which is why we’ve made accessibility a priority by having clinicians licensed in multiple states. Whether you’re navigating a move or simply want the flexibility to choose the right therapist for you, our team is here to bridge the gap and ensure you get the care you deserve, wherever you are.
