What degrees do you need to become a therapist?

I recently realized that despite my awkwardness and unwillingness to talk to strangers, I somehow clique well with kids and those have been abused. I have thought about having #therapy as a backup plan, but I don't know what #degree/s you have to have. Is it just #psychology ? I do not want to be a psychiatrist, so I wouldn't need anything medical. But as with my previous question, I don't know whether or not this #profession would make me feel safe or not. I feel like the community is kind of bigoted towards the #lgbtqa+ community as well as those who actually have disorders? Is it weird for a therapist to have a therapist or would that just help them relate more to their clients?
