Counselling .Vs. Clinical
To anyone who reads my posts (likely no-body),
Lately, I have been so back and forth on whether I would like to be/be better suited for a career as a clinical psychologist or as a counseling psychologist. I know the differences between the two options (If you don't know what they are feel free to ask below), but I keep getting different advice as to which one I am interested in.
God bless my professors hearts, but they are confusing me more than they are helping. When I tell them exactly what I'm interested in, they give me completely different answers. This is probably due to their preference toward their own specialties and degrees, but I'm not really sure where to get a valid answer (No, Google doesn't help. In fact, the amount of people who have no idea what they are talking about are beyond numerous).
This is what I tell them (In short form):
I'm interested in the following:
Helping-- Adolescents, adults, and couples;
With--- Depression (Clinical), Anxiety(Clinical), and Family/Marital Problems (Counseling);
By-- Psychotherapy treatment (and other treatment options);
In--- Schools and Private Practice
They either hear that I would like to counsel people, or that I would like to focus on people with more clinical based problems.
I wish there was a simple answer. But with so many different branches in psychology, it gets very confusing.
That being said, if anyone would like to comment on this, or ask any questions.. I'll be happy to respond.
Thank you for reading,
Angela
