Question by Lauren: whats the difference between a counseling psychologist and a mental health counselor?
I read that counseling psychologists make twice as much as mental health counselors. Also…..to become a counseling psychologist, do you just need bachelors and masters degrees? i dont think you need a Phd unless you become a clinical psychologist. There is also something called a Psy.D(doctor of psychology)….if I want to become a counseling psych. who works in their own practice, do i need the Psy.D? thanks, there is so much info. to find out! also, please don’t guess, only answer if you know for sure about what you are saying.
well i read that a counseling psychologist work with people(i prefer to work with children) on more typical problems instead of what a clinical psychologist does, which is helping wih more severe problems.
im in california but i dont know the rules in this state

Question by TimeTraveller: What should i major in if i want to open my own business as a child psychologist ?
I’m a rising senior and it’s time to decide which college and major i want. I know somewhere down the line i’d like to open my own business for child psychology, but I’m not sure what to major in. Should i do a major in psychology and a minor in child development or a double major in both. Or maybe i should do counseling psychology ?

Also i want to be able to prescribe. Any colleges in mind would be helpful also.

You can be a psychotherapist with a masters degree (clinical or counseling psychology), as well as a PhD. Masters takes about 2.5 years of education and 3 years of supervised work before you can be on your own. PhD takes about 7 years before you can be on your own, not including post-doctoral work (about 2 years extra) and additional supervised clinical time.

Question by Dan W: Can i become a councilor with a GED?
Well i am wondering if you can become a councilor for drug abuse if you only have a GED, because i was addicted to methamphetamine, marijuana, inhalants, and alcohol for about five years of my life and luckily i got myself help and have been clean for about 2 years now and i would really like to help people overcome the demons i also faced trying to become clean, any help would be wonderful. Thanks for any feed back.

Congratulations on having almost two years of sobriety! With regard to becoming a substance abuse counselor, I believe that most with a Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC) have a master’s degree which takes about six years of college, if attending on a full-time basis. There are different levels of training for addictions counseling, but most jobs prefer those with a master’s degree.
