How Much Counseling Can One Legally Give Without Credentials?
Question by uncleclover: How much counseling can one legally give without credentials?
I’ve read more than enough to understand human psychology as well as some fully-certified professionals, but I’ve never done so in an academic environment. Yet I love helping people. How far can I go to advertise myself as a “counselor” without actually being certified as one? Are there any tests I could take that could give me some sort of minimal credentials without having to take classes? I’m quite knowledgeable on the subject of psychology and would love being able to put my knowledge to use in helping others, but I don’t know how far I’d be allowed to take it under the law of the U.S. I’d gladly take classes and become “officially credentialed” if I could afford it, but barring that, what are my options?

My Professor Called Me a “Liberal Sweetheart.” What Did She Mean?
Question by Native American ?: My professor called me a “liberal sweetheart.” What did she mean?
It was in one of my psychology courses. I was discussing how I believe there should be more “psychologists” employed in prisons/mental hospitals because I feel that 2 “psychiatrists” monitoring 200 inmates/patients is not enough since each inmate/patient is not getting enough individual attention and treatment. I expressed how we are sending “mentally ill” criminals through a revolving door by having our tax dollars go to medicate them enough to be “coherent” during trial, but then when the judge realizes that they’re still incoherent, they’re sent back to receive more drugs…etc. (and the process never ends) Therefore, taxpayers are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on medication/treatment, transportation, shelter, trials…etc. Why not spend the money on trained professionals who will offer more than drugs to rehabilitate…?

My Friend Told Her Psychiatrist That She Was Being Abused- He Told Her She Needs Medication & Counseling?
Question by Be Real: My friend told her psychiatrist that she was being abused- He told her she needs Medication & Counseling?
She is not insulted by the med thing but “counseling”?
Never mentioned the abuser should go too.
What actually was she saying to her patient?
Best answer:
Answer by ?Kazz?
She may well be suggesting that by going to counselling and talking through the abuse she might come to realise she needs to get herself out of the situation – many abused women don’t feel they are able to leave – some feel that they deserve the abuse or they just cant see a way out or that they feel that this is life and you have to put up with it etc – so yeah that might be why she has suggested it – just so she can talk it through and come to the realisation herself to get herself out of the situation
