Fred:
There is so much pop-psychology gibberish out there looking to bilk people of money, it is sad. If you want to find a qualified, certified and trained counsellor, your best bet is with an MSW or above social worker. If you live in the U.S., you can go here to find one or more in your area:
https://www.socialworkers.org/register/default.aspLike physicians, the field of social work is governed by legislative bodies and the law. This means you get quality counselling on an across-the-board scale.
People with degrees in psychology are not social workers. Social workers must take specific programs, meeting specific training criteria. The organization that governs social work in the U.S. is the National Association of Social Workers. (at the above website.)Any further help needed, or questions, please ask away.
Best,
Jay
