Counseling

Because of their training in psychology, technically the ship's counselor is considered part of Starfleet Medical. Found generally on starships which undertake frequent diplomatic missions or have large crews, the counselor is responsible both for advising the commanding officer in dealing with other people and races, and in helping crew members with personal, psychological and emotional problems. Deanna Troi, the Betazoid Counselor of the USS Enterprise-D, used her empathic abilities to aid in her duties. While Starfleet has enjoyed remarkable success with empathic and telepathic counselors, many counselors without these talents do their jobs admirably.
