How can i become a social worker in Georgia? What are the basic requirements?

I am currently getting my bachelor's in psychology online. I work as a Paralegal but my life's calling is to work with soldiers who have PTSD or other such problems. Therefore if my research is correct I would need to become a clinical social worker. How exactly do I go about that?

1. I am not sure what the requirements are in the USA but I have a masters degree in social work with a clinical concentration in Canada. Generally, you need a masters degree to do any sort of clinical therapy and I doubt it is any different in the States. An aside though, social work is a VERY stressful profession and I would strongly advise anyone to work on your own personal issues BEFORE you get into the profession. Burn out rates are exceptionally high in this field and particularly working with trauma victims. Good luck!
