What is a Mental Health Counselor?
A mental health counselor is an individual who has specialized training and knowledge in providing psychological services to individuals with mental health issues. They are trained to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse disorders, bipolar disorder and more. They have expertise in providing psychotherapy—talk therapy—to people of all ages (including children), genders, orientations and backgrounds. They are also adept at providing referrals to psychiatrists when needed or when medication may be beneficial.
