The Professional Corporation Act was amended in 2007 to allow a professional corporation to be formed by and between LCSWs, or among an LCSW and a physician, licensed psychologist, certified clinical specialist in psychiatric and mental health nursing, licensed marriage and family therapist, or licensed professional counselor. Licensed clinical social workers are no longer required to have a physician or licensed psychologist as a director or shareholder in the professional corporation.
