counselling, clinical psychology, or psychotherapy?

I'm looking into a career change into one of the 3. Any thoughts?

counseling more rewarding from what ive heard on emotional level

Thank you for your thoughts. I get that impression too. But clinical has more of a lasting impression on psychology as a whole. Unless you engage in research as a counsellor too, and training others who aren't counsellors. ...

personally I never could be anything more than counselor because would never bring my self to perscribe anything as I have seen first hand what wrong medication can do to a person. My ex wife was put on medication after medication when a teen now she can not see the truth and imagines things all time and convinced they real. she can get violent too now and doesnt remember it after

I feel much the same. In some cases it can help as a treat switch short term but. .. wary. Thanks for your first hand experience :) but clinical psychologists don't really prescribe as far as I know. That's psychiatrists?
