Answer 3

Counseling is usually done by an under quailified person who has their own personal problems with which they can not successfully deal and they make a megar living quoting psyco-babble taught by a slightly more educated neurotic individual.  Psychotherapy is similiar except the counselor is better educated and makes more money.  Both should be avoided both socially and professionally.  An exception the this rule is the Christian counselor who often time is sincere and well grounded in God taught advise.  Good luck!
