A psychologist is a person who is trained in the area of mental health assessment, diagnosis and treatment, specifically in observing behavior that enhances personal growth. Psychologists, after graduating from college, spend an average of an additional seven years in training before receiving a doctorate. Further, they must complete two internships and two licensing exams before practicing. Psychologists are unique to the mental health field in their training and use of psycho-diagnostic instruments. When relevant and necessary, psychologists have the ability to accurately assess your individual needs through psychological testing. Psychologists then design a treatment plan that can help remediate your problems.
