Clinical/Counseling Psychologist
Licensed clinical and counseling psychologists are professionals trained to conduct therapy, provide counseling, and administer and interpret psychological tests. Their work environments are varied, ranging from private clinical practices to hospital settings. While they share the ability to conduct therapy with psychiatrists, they are distinguished by their doctoral education in psychology (a PhD or PsyD) and their focus on psychological testing rather than prescribing medication.
