private psychotherapist considering move to Charleston area (Mount Pleasant, Summerville: school districts, licensed)

[cvernold]

I'm a private practitioner (LCSW-R) in Upstate New York and am considering a move to the Charleston area. I'm considering opening another practice in either the Summerville or Mount Pleasant areas or returning to the school system to work as a school social worker. Is there a need for MSWs (private practice or school system) in the Charleston area? I have considerable experience with children/adolescents/families as well as adults/couples. Any feedback you can offer would help greatly.

I imagine there would always be a need for licensed MSW's in Charleston, surrounding areas and schools, especially as population keeps increasing and more schools are opened. There are a number of licensed MSW's in the area, perhaps checking with them directly, as well as the school districts/private schools themselves would give you a better idea of what's needed, and where.
