I had counseling in the past and did not find it helpful. How are you different?

What is the difference between a psychotherapist, therapist, and counselor?
For the most part, the terms “therapist,” “psychotherapist,” and “counselor” are generic terms used interchangeably within the mental health field. Typically, a mental health practitioner using one of these titles is trained and licensed, although no licensing or credentialing agency regulates the use of these generic titles. So, whenever seeking mental health services, it is important to ensure that the services are being delivered by a qualified professional.
