Don't forget, there also exist those that call themselves a counselor which is a whole different ball game. Generally a counselor doesn't have the years of schooling and clinical experience. It is really wise to iron out just what your therapist really possesses in the way of schooling and certification(s). Some employee benefits plans only cover the cost of the more cheaper 'counselors' even though they may not be appropriate to your needs.

If you have a benefits plan AND if you have an EAP (Employee Assistance Plan) how lucky for you. For, if you go through your EAP they can assign to you several options of what and who would be more appropriate to your particular issue(s). ie. they can put you in touch with a therapist that specifically deals with stress in the workplace if this is the source of the problem, etc.

I also want to point out that some psychiatrists also offer therapy. If you are lucky, you can find one of them.
