Doc’s Answer

So Desiray you think you might like to become a therapist. Therapists may be referred to as mental health counselors or mental health therapists. These types of therapists help people understand and cope with mental and emotional afflictions. They may work with individuals or groups who suffer from stress, addiction, depression, anxiety disorders, or other conditions. Mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists usually work in office settings within mental health centers, substance abuse treatment centers, hospitals, and colleges. Many choose to operate private practices. Therapists may work full- or part-time; those employed by an organization or business will generally do so full-time, while private practice therapists have more control over their schedules.

MARRIAGE/FAMILY THERAPIST – Marriage and family therapists treat mental disorders and psychological issues within the context of families and relationships. Not only do these therapists work with families to help them resolve issues, but they also work with individuals in the family and with couples as well.

COGNITIVE/BEHAVIORAL THERAPIST – A cognitive behavioral therapist is a highly specialized counselor that uses psychotherapeutic and behavioral techniques to assist their clients in addressing a wide-range of psychological problems, from depression and anxiety to substance abuse and eating disorders. Therapists that employ this type of therapy are very focused on education, making achievable goals, and measuring the client’s progress.

ADDICTION THERAPIST – Addiction therapists are one of the most popular types of therapists. They deal with people who have an addiction to anything – from alcohol and smoking to gambling, shopping, and food. They provide effective therapies to break the habits and addictions of people, bringing them back to a normal and fully functional life.

SCHOOL THERAPIST – Schools are full of students belonging to different kinds of backgrounds and personality types all learning in the same environment. Schools hire two different types of therapists: career counselors and school therapists. The career counselors provide information about different fields to students and help them find one which suits their aptitude.

SPORTS THERAPIST – Sports therapists are hired by sports academies to provide therapies to their players. Sports players have many issues to deal with, which include pressure from fellow players, lack of motivation, and an urge to drop everything when their career does not shine. They need someone to fully understand their needs and treat them accordingly.

CORRECTIONAL THERAPIST – The people working as attorneys or caseworkers need someone to help them stay social when they get too deep in their work. Correctional therapists are needed in this situation as they form correctional teams. Correctional psychologists interview their clients, observe them closely, and review their charts to make sure that they do not get anti-social.

CHILD THERAPIST – Children have many physical as well as emotional needs, the lack of which renders them weak and more prone to psychological distress. There are child therapists who specialize in therapies which help the children and their parents fulfill their emotional needs. They help children alleviate trauma from stressful events as well strain put on their minds by peer pressure.

SOCIAL THERAPIST – Social therapists actively work to help people in both individual and group settings. They work in studying social interaction, and social patterns just like sociologists do, but their aim is to improve individual functioning to meet the pace of society rather than making inferences on social structures.

These types of therapists require different types of therapist degrees to get proper licensing. There are two doctorate level degrees: Psy.D (Doctorate of Psychology) and Ph.D. (Doctorate of Philosophy in Psychology). When you decide to pursue physical therapy as a career, you're setting off on the path to become a medical professional who works with people who have been injured or have a condition that impairs their movement or causes pain. You'll formulate treatment and care plans for patients based on their individual cases, taking into consideration factors like the cause of the condition, the patient's mobility and restrictions, and pain levels.

Hope this helps Desiray
