Question by catfight_007: What is a Psychotherapist?
How is it different from a psychiatrist, psychologist, or therapist?

Best answer:

Answer by Dr. Bob
A psychotherapist is a “healer” (therapist) of the “psyche” (“mind”).

A Psychiatrist is a medical doctor with specialized training in psychology. (Some may answer that a Psychiatrist is different because he/she can prescribe medications. While that is true in most states because the MD is a medical degree, that is NOT the distinguishing characteristic!)

A “Psychologist” is usually someone licensed in their state to practice psychological counseling (that is, “psychotherapy”) with at least a Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree. A Psychologist may also specialize in other fields, such as psychological testing, industrial psychology, and other types of psychology.

A therapist is a helper/healer. Such a person needs no special credentials, training, or education.

The same is true of a “counselor.”

Answer by Jessica Rabbit
Your uncle wouldn’t want that for you, he would want you to live your life,and live it to the fullest. Your friends didn’t know your uncle,so of course they won’t completely understand.
I would suggest seeing a therapist, or a good old fashion journal might help,..it’s like telling someone,but they can’t judge or laugh at whatever you say or think.

Question by Lucifer: What do I do to become a chemical health or mental health counselor?
I want to become a chemical health counselor or a mental health counselor or do therapy with people that are recovering from drug addiction or mental health. I want to do this because I have had a history with drugs and depression, and want to help others and give back I guess. I’m in high school, and am going to be graduating in a couple years. I think about other careers doing things I like, like playing music or fixing electronics, but I couldn’t imagine doing either as a career. The more I think of counseling and therapy, it’s something I am passionate about and I know a lot about chemical health and mental health. I talked with the chemical health counselor at my school, we talk every couple weeks, but I told him that this is what I want to do, which I haven’t told anyone else until then, and he was saying that the way he did it was at a University and went for psychology. But he said for psychology, to be able to do anything you have to get a lot of education for it and a higher degree. He had a friend that didn’t get as high a degree as he did and now he can’t really do anything for it, but he’s had other friends do it through just getting the license for counseling, and when you get that, it gives you way more options, and you can do generals at a community college and then go get a license and save a lot of money. So what’s the way he’s talking about by just getting a license? How do I do that? And if that info was misleading, what’s the best way to go for doing this? And how much will school probably cost?
