The New York Post gets it wrong with William 'Zev' Ballen
The New York Post claimed in an article that a Frum licensed Social Worker from Monsey, William 'Zev' Ballen, had been reprimanded last year for falsely claiming to be a Psychotherapist. The New York Post got it wrong on this one. According to New York State law a licensed Social Worker may call themself a Psychotherapist and may practice Psychotherapy. The actual charge against William Ballen last year was that he called himself a Psychologist, which is a false portrayal and is against the law in New York State.
Here is the Journal News article from last year.
