Therapist vs. Psychologist

Are you looking for a specialist to help you overcome your addiction to drugs? The staff at Beaches Recovery in Jacksonville, Florida are here to help. Keep reading for more information about the differences between therapist vs psychologist. Both are available at Beaches to help you overcome your substance abuse.

Psychologist vs. Therapist

“Therapist” is a broad term. Therapists include other specialists, such as licensed social workers, marriage and family therapists, counselors, and even psychologists. Therapy is based on a behavioral approach. Therapists are required to have a master’s degree or a doctorate in social work, psychology, counseling, or marriage and family therapy.

A psychologist has very specific training in their field of work. They must have at least a master’s in psychology. Their training is based on research into human behavior. A psychologist can teach in their field at a university or college. They must also have a license in the state they practice in. A psychologist can work in private practice with clients in direct therapy. Clients must be treated with a psychological behavioral approach that is based on research. A board-certified psychologist must stick to a strict code of confidentiality and ethics to stay board certified.

There are also some similarities between therapist vs psychologist. Psychologists are therapists in that they are both available to help clients get through tumultuous mental and emotional events in their current life or overcome events from the past that still affect them. Here at Beaches Recovery, therapists and psychologists are available to help you overcome your addiction to substances.
