Psychologists with the pre-requisite training are now legal prescription providers in two states (i.e., LA and NM). Mental health counselors typically have a master's degree. As far as clinical work, the two differ very little. Both see clients, diagnose, assess, treat, conduct testing, etc. Psychologists, however, are a bit more versatile, in that they are employable in a wide variety of sectors (e.g., business, education) as consultants, etc. Psychologists are non-physician doctors (have a Ph.D. or a Psy.D.).

The problem is that anyone can call themselves a "therapist" without education or licensure. Just like anyone can call themselves a "life coach, job coach," etc. LMFT's (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists) and LP's (Licensed Psychologists) have ethical guidelines they must follow or risk losing their license. I don't know where the LMFT's get theres, but you can go to APA.org to see the code of ethics for psychologists. Actually it is highly regulated among licensed professionals.

You spend maybe 15 or 20 mins answering the questionnaire and the person evaluating you will go over your score with you and what it means. If you're moderately or severelydepressed, you'll be referred to a licensed psychologist (or a student near graduation working under an experienced supervisor) and told to talk to your doctor about antidepressants. good luck, kiddo .

You might earn more money specializing in the field of learning disabilities- because you'd be paid by school districts or families that are willing to pay thousands of dollars to test their kid (to get them special services they need, or to help them get into schools "despite" their learning disabilitiy). I personally feel that you'll make a bigger difference in the world by working with the mentally ill- because folks with major mental illness need support- but it's more challenging and usually less financially rewarding- since these programs are rarely adequately funded.
