So how do you feel about counseling psychology?


Here's a fun way to start off! A cartoon!(It's a corny one, I know!)

When I hear the words 'counseling psychology' a few things come to mind. The simplest of them is that it deals with counseling or helping and well...psychology! It also has to do with basic emotional distresses, but not to be confused with clinical psychology which tackles the severe mental disorders with medicines and more intensive treatment. In other words, to me, the people working in counseling psychology are there to do just what the word implies- to be a sort of counselor- by guiding and talking to you to help you work out minor mental or emotional distresses.

With that said the common jobs one would find in couseling psychology would be a psycologist, a school counselor or a social worker. They are all under the subject of counseling psychology.
So what are your thoughts: What's counseling psychology to you? What words come to your mind when you hear 'counseling psychology?'
