I saw that this might not be possible. On the other hand, are LCSWs able to hire and supervise LMHCs and MHCs? This is for NY

Basically, I have no interest in teaching, research, or assessments. However, I wanna be the best therapist I can possibly be, and PsyD has more rigorous training for its therapists. I'm guessing psychologists might have a higher therapy ceiling than social workers do. I'm going to be putting in the work after I graduate to better myself as a therapist, regardless of whether I'm a PsyD or LMSW. Can an LCSW be equally good at therapy as a psychologist that's great at therapy? What do you guys think? Should I really go into PsyD to be a better therapist even though I have no interest in assessments?

Are the ceilings for both the same? I'm trying to determine whether I want to pursue a PsyD or PhD
