I really enjoyed this video! Alberta (where I live) is one of the only provinces in Canada where people can become a Registered Psychologist with a graduate degree and the degree doesn't necessarily need to have psychology in the title. For example, people can register as psychologists in Alberta and use the title of 'Registered Psychologist' with a Master's of Counselling. However, most Canadian provinces require a PhD level of education from an APA or CPA approved program. At this time, there are so many unregulated titles here (life coach, therapist, counsellor, etc). It's interesting to learn about the criteria to become a Psychologist in different provinces/states.
That's really interesting. I have strong doubts that there will ever be a universal standard around titles, but at least people will know to check now. Hopefully!
