Thank you very much for your feedback, I appreciate it. I will certainly look into PsyD duties as well as LCSW-C. Thanks again!

Hello I'm currently a high school student. I've been looking at many different topics in the psychiatric/psychology/therapist field. I know that I want to work in mental health clinics/treatment centers. Specifically, I'd like to work in an eating disorder clinic. However, I cannot decide which career to go into. I originally looked into clinical psychology because I got the impression that you could work as a sort of counselor for people in mental health clinics as well as diagnose patients. But then I discovered psychiatric nurse practitioning, and I'm trying to contrast the two and decide which would fit me better. Does anyone know the major differences between these two? And which I should do if I want to directly counsel AND diagnose patients in mental health/eating disorder clinics?
