What is the difference between a mental hygienist a psychotherapist and a psychological counselor?

Mental health therapist is launched by the China Health Care Association and the China Center for International Exchange of Talents, and the certificate is of the nature of the association, which does not have the effect of national professional qualifications, and the scope of work is only for the basic population to carry out health care work. Psychologists are dealing with people who have reached the level of disease. The training is only for people within the healthcare system.

There is currently no national certificate for training. As a profession, psychological counselor has been included in the national occupational dictionary, and the psychological counselor certificate is a national vocational qualification certificate, and the holder of the certificate has the qualification to engage in this profession. Psychological counselors are oriented to the general public and provide a wide range of services.

The order from difficult to easy: psychologist, mental health nurse, psychological counselor, generally speaking, the requirements of psychologists are relatively higher, in addition, the professional qualifications held by the three are not the same, the efforts are also different, and the objects of the three are not the same.

Psychologists and mental health nurses are not national qualification certificates, and psychological counselors are national formal qualifications, so only psychological counselors are real. Those health nurses and ** teachers are cheating money.

Mental Health Nurse = Health, Psychological Counselor = Sub-health, Psychological Counselor = Unhealthy!

There are only psychological counselors, level 2 and level 3, national qualifications, and nothing else I have heard of.

I'm a trainer and listen to me.

Only psychological counselors are nationally recognized qualifications. Other than that, it's all money scams.

What kind of person is qualified to see a counselor? Do counselors provide services to normal people?
