Question by : What is the main difference between a, “Clinical Psychologist” and a, “Counseling Psychologist”?
It has been my lifelong goal to become a therapist and help people overcome their problems. From the research I have done, I have found that to be a Therapist, you need at least a Masters Degree in either Clinical Psychology or Counseling Psychology. I was just wondering if someone who clearly knows the difference could illustrate the differences. And also, are Ph.D’s available in Counseling Psychology?
