Counseling and psychology are two totally separate disciplines and fields of study.  If a student wishes to become a counselor, a counseling program is appropriate.  A student wishing to become a psychologist would study psychology.  At some point, I would like to become a psychologist, but I am aware that I will need to obtain a degree in addition to a master's in counseling to do so.  I would never expect that degree and an LPC to qualify me as a psychologist.  The education is different for each occupation and I feel that each would be ill-equipped to do the work of the other.
