Where I am (not US) I only really trust clinical psychologists. Here they have around 7 years training in university and practise before they can be licensed. I just don't trust that other counselors with lesser training have the intelligence and knowledge to assist me with what I need help with.
I also like the person I work with to be continually upskilling and keeping up with current research because the understanding and treatment of the neurobiology of dissociation and complex trauma is such a rapidly developing field. I definitely would not work with a "run of the mill" counselor.
