The team is also more cost effective. It takes a full regimen of med school, internship, psychiatric speciality courses and more internships–and so commands top salary; by contrast, one can become a licensed professional counselor with a master’s degree. Ergo, the highest salaried professional does the part of treatment that takes less time and permits seeing more patients, the lower-cost professional does the hour-long weekly sessions for 18 months.
