1 Go to the psychological counseling rooms of comprehensive universities in the city, some of which are open to the public. These places have an advantage: they are all trained, more formal and the fees are more acceptable. The disadvantage is that professional skills may be average.
Go to the hospital psychology department to have a look. Hospital counselors are from clinical psychology and have the right to prescribe, which is more suitable for some mental diseases that need medical treatment, while general counselors do not have the right to prescribe, depending on your specific problems.
Internet search, such as Zhihu Psychological Group, has many great gods. As for who to look for, you need a pair of discerning eyes.
4 matching degree. The process of psychological counseling is basically the process of self-exposure of visitors. No matter how clever the counselor is, he can leave even when he sees his face, because you are the visitor, that is, you are the person who pays the bill. You have the right to choose someone who looks "pleasing to the eye" to "spit", which is absolutely your right. To put it bluntly, the gas fields are congenial.
What is the treatment of psychological counselors?
I really can't say this question, just like a foreigner asking you what is the per capita GDP of China? Does this really represent your income?
To be honest, the treatment of ordinary psychological counselors is definitely lower, more and more than you think.
Why is psychological counseling so expensive?
First of all, I want to popularize the concept that psychological counseling is essentially a contractual relationship maintained by money and a commodity. We never use the banner of "saving the world". If a counselor always talks about changing the world, changing the world, TA is either an idealist or a Buddha.
Since it is a commodity, I think Ma Jing in junior high school told us that the price of a commodity is determined by the value and the relationship between supply and demand.
1 the value of psychological counseling.
The value of goods is determined by the labor time condensed in the goods, that is, the cost (please forgive me if you understand the mistake). So how much does it cost to become a psychological counselor? Generally speaking, TA should be a professional, and it needs several years of study and money investment (of course, because the threshold of domestic psychological counselor qualification certificate is too low, non-professionals can also sign up for the exam, which is beyond my discussion)-signing up for psychological counselor qualification certificate, the price is generally 3K-getting the qualification certificate does not mean immediate return. For a long time, it was basically free psychological counseling. In the peer counseling room of the school, or find another way-find your own supervisor, usually twice a month or once a week, and the cost varies according to the city where you live, basically more than once in 500 yuan (in the United States, supervision is a necessary part of becoming a psychological counselor, and you can't take up your post without supervision, but there is no such hard and fast rule in China, so more people omit this step, which is one of the reasons why domestic psychological counselors are uneven)-Well, here we are. Psychological counselors will consider some special therapies that they like or are good at, such as NLP mindfulness or family therapy. Ta must attend some training and counseling, learning skills and self-experience courses. The minimum level of these courses is 4k, the intermediate level is 6k and the advanced level is 8k. If it is a training class for foreign masters, it is normal to spend tens of thousands of training fees in one or two days. At this time, ta is basically in an unprofitable stage, because you have no fame and connections, who will come to you? Unless you are a rich second generation, there is only one way for ordinary people to change careers. This has also caused a very strange phenomenon in China's psychological counseling industry: most psychological counselors are part-time.
To sum up, you can probably understand how much it costs for a counselor to take this road, right? And the time and energy that can't be quantified are not counted.
2 the relationship between supply and demand of psychological counseling.
Theoretically speaking, psychological counseling is a new industry in China, and the society is in a transitional period. People's psychological problems are outstanding, which should be in short supply. However, having this demand does not mean that actual consumption behavior will be formed. There are many variables, such as purchasing power, cultural tradition and imperfect system. Therefore, there are very few people who really form psychological counseling consumption behavior. What about those who need psychological counseling, but don't choose psychological counseling for various reasons (lack of consumption power, lack of reliable psychological counselors, etc.)? )? A large part of them have become psychology enthusiasts, and they have signed up for the qualification certificate of psychological counselors, hoping to save themselves through a self-learning path. This has formed another strange phenomenon in the domestic psychological counseling industry: there are more people with psychological counseling qualification certificates and fewer mental patients. So those private psychological counseling institutions, in addition to individual psychological counseling, also seize business opportunities, hold various "spiritual workshops" for psychological lovers to experience spirituality, which is essentially like group therapy with reasonable price-you are embarrassed to be a psychological visitor, but you are always embarrassed to be a psychological lover, and you can also buy a group.
Then you must ask, in this case, the supply of psychological counseling industry exceeds demand, and the price should be cheap.
Aside from the expenses mentioned above, there is also a reality that most psychological counselors are part-time. The hidden information behind this is that it is very difficult for a psychology undergraduate to find a job suitable for his major, either changing careers or continuing to study for a master's or a doctor's degree. After graduating from master's degree, I basically worked as a psychology teacher, and my doctor did scientific research in colleges and universities. Unless you are really interested in psychological counseling, you can only do psychological counseling part-time after you have accumulated certain network resources and fame. This means that they can set the price according to their own situation (fame, attitude towards money, etc.). ), which means they have the right to choose independently. Instead of hosting two 300 yuan hours, it is better to host one 600 yuan hour. People choose psychological counselors, basically by word of mouth and fame. The more famous people are, the more people will consult TA, and the price will naturally become a filtering method. Besides, some of them are busy publishing books and appearing on TV. In this case, someone must have accused us of learning psychology without social responsibility, right? Feelings are about money, right? I really can't say that. Psychological counseling is not easy. Even full-time counselors can't work more than 20 hours a week. Otherwise, the spirit can't be full. You should always respect our occupational health, right?
As a psychology student, there will always be pressure. There are always all kinds of people around you who say that you study psychology and we are friends. Can I talk to you? This chat is absolutely free, and this friend is definitely new. If I take care of everyone, I really have no life. A person's ability is big or small, and a person's moral endurance is limited. Personally, as long as ta is conscientious to every visitor, ta will still be a consultant with good professional ethics.
