Behavioral Health Clinician Jobs in Maine: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a behavioral health clinician in Maine?
Becoming a behavioral health clinician in Maine requires completing a master's degree in social work, counseling, or a related clinical field and obtaining licensure through the Maine Board of Counseling Professionals Licensure or the Maine State Board of Social Worker Licensure, depending on your discipline. Most positions require either an LCPC, LCSW, or LMFT. Candidates typically accumulate supervised clinical hours under a licensed supervisor before sitting for their licensure exam.
