Do you know the difference between people who are trained as THERAPISTS and those who are trained as COUNSELLORS? Yes, there is a major difference - both in the length and in the breadth of Education - Degrees vs. Certificates, for starters. These terms are NOT interchangeable nor is the work of a Psychotherapist interchangeable with that of a Counsellor. ***Please ask about the Training and Supervision of your mental health professional, along with what they are offering to you, in terms of treatment vs. advice/education/information - when seeking mental health treatment. Their Psychology, Social Work, or Analytic Degree and full licensing Credentials, including governing Professional Organizations which cover Ethical Standards, should be on their Website + available to clients. A PhD. in any subject other than Psychology (or medicine) is not a Doctor. Individuals who are Counsellors should not be offering any type of mental health diagnosis - formally or informally, to their clients (in particular, Personality Disorder rx.)
