Question by : Which Master’s degree do I need?
I am researching MS programs in the state of Alabama (to avoid paying out of state tuition). My ultimate goal is to become a therapist. I do not want to work only with children, only with marriage/families, and not at all with severe cases (ex. schizophrenia). What do I need to seek a degree in? I have found few programs labeled simply “Counseling Psychology.” I have, however, found a program in “Clinical Mental Health Counseling” and another in “Community Counseling” at colleges that interest me. Do I really need to enter a “Counseling Psychology” program specifically? Or will one the other two be sufficient? What is the difference between “Clinical Mental Health Counseling” and “Community Counseling” programs? All programs I have looked at are CACREP accredited, also.
