Star Trek’s Counselors Ranked Worst To Best

Life on a starship can be incredibly stressful, demanding, and even traumatic in Star Trek, so it’s not surprising that ships would need a Counselor to keep the crew from breaking down. Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) on Star Trek: The Next Generation may have been the first onscreen crew member to bear the title of ship’s counselor, but several others have served a similar purpose. Before having a counselor on starships became standard practice, the Chief Medical Officer would often serve in this capacity when required.
