Thanks! Kathleen RN MSN I need a lot of help. But I don't know who to turn to. Is there a therapist who is a catholic? I have maritial and emotional problems. Questions that I can't find answers to. I don't know where to turn. If one of you are a therapist who can be honest, who have a catholic upbringing and is compassionate and caring then you are the therapist for me. I hold an undergrad Psych degree from UK, plus an MA in Acting which I combined in my work over the past 3 years as an educator, learning mentor (using play) and leading creative workshops for wellbeing. I am now wanting to continue my training to become a therapist (a little confused between 'psychologist' or 'Counselor'), maybe even some day a doctor. If I am really serious about it, should I aim for an MA or would a diploma be enough? Can anyone in the profession tell me if there is a big divide between the titles 'diploma', 'MA', or 'Doctorate'? Thanks, much appreciated! (PS I am planning to train in Vancouver, perhaps at the Adler school or Vancouver College of Counselling.. any tips on their reputations also much appreciated!) I'm a plain 'ole patient. I've had 10 therapist over 40 years, off and on (not to worry; I'm fine). Only the 1st time did I interview and the other times I simply chose one and started. One was obviously "bad" and I didn't return. I left
