Psychiatrists have medical degrees, which certainly puts them on a certain level, but psychologists also completed their doctorates (so did my music professors in college, for that matter, who introduced themselves as Dr.). Still, they are both licensed experts in their field. Counselors are only required to complete a masters program, which is maybe what you're thinking of. That being said, I have no idea what a christian psychologist is. That sounds like bs. Sorry, I don't mean to be fact lady, but I'm considering pursuing a career as a psychologist and can attest that it is a serious title.
