Strongly disagree
 

I strongly disagree! This would imply that counselors do not have a specific identity, training, and skill set. This would negatively affect counselor identity, and potentially clients as well. 

Additionally, if psychologists and social workers do the same work as counselors and can get licensed as counselors, counselors should also be able to become licensed psychologists and social workers.
