recreational therapy with a bachelor's degree in psychology?

I am currently going to school for a psychology bachelor's degree and I am in my third year. However, I am no longer sure if I want to get a master's in mental health counseling after this anymore like I had originally planned. I don't know how well I would be able to handle such a stressful career, dealing with other people's stress everyday. I was thinking maybe I could become a recreational therapist instead.

My questions:

Is recreational therapy less stressful but just as rewarding as mental health counseling?

Can I go into recreational therapy with just a BA in psychology or would I need to change my major or get a master's degree in recreational therapy?

Thanks!
