Should I major in general psychology if I want to become a counseling psychologist?
I would like to become a counseling psychologist. Specifically focusing on addiction, OCD, and other tendencies. Would my best bet be to major in the general Psychology or should I look for more majors in Counseling Psychology.
Would it be okay to major in general psychology? Would this give me more options, yet still allow me to lean more towards counseling rather than clinical?
I also am not really interested in doing it within a school, like being a “school counselor” or anything of that nature.

Undergraduate you could major in gen psy. To be a counseling psychologist will require graduate work in counseling psych.
