Check with the licensing bureau of the state you want to work in. Some regulations vary from state to state, so what applies in Michigan may not be the same requirements in Ohio, for example.

I have a friend that works for United Health Services and she has to be licensed. I do believe that you can get in and get your license while you are with them, but call to confirm that. I know when she started she didn't have a license, and she has been with them for a year, and now has a license. She does not work in the mental part of it, but she does work as a Customer Service Advocate at United Health Services.

Great question, Jose! Is there any way you can find out in the job description for a mental health worker? Usually the employer will indicate what certifications/education are necessary for a specific job role. Hope this helps!
