What is the required degree and major; to become a councilor for mental health?

Andrew asked:


I am a student at a community college. I am just wondering what is the required degree and major to become a councilor/therapist for mental health patients. Is it true that you have to major in sociology to become a councilor? Can I get an associates degree to be a councilor foe mental health? Are councilors required to have masters degrees? Thanks

Maria

   An actual therapist you can actually have any degree and still go on for masters and still go on for masters in clinical or in clinical or sociology.
   An actual therapist you can actually have any degree and then do additional courses to be an actual.
   For masters in social science like psychology or sociology.
   An actual therapist you will need at least your masters in clinical or counseling psychology or sociology.
   For licensure you will hire someone with bachelors but if your masters degree is very helpful if your masters degree and then do additional courses to.
