In Ecuador, health titles are registered by the Agencia de Aseguramiento de la Calidad de los Servicios de Salud, the government agency known as ACESS. Its register covers the clinical psychologist and the psychiatrist, which are the titles an Ecuadorian listing most often carries. What the agency records is the registration of a title, so it answers a qualification question rather than a question about how someone works.
You can open the ACESS registration lookup. Verify with Agencia de Aseguramiento de la Calidad de los Servicios de Salud (ACESS).
What a session costs varies with training, setting and where the practice is. See how to think about the cost of therapy.
