Doctor of Psychology

A Doctor of Psychology (PsyD or PhD in Psychology) is a highly trained mental health professional with advanced education and clinical experience in understanding, diagnosing, and treating psychological conditions. They often work directly with individuals, couples, or groups to improve mental well-being, manage disorders, and enhance overall functioning. Unlike research-focused psychologists, those with a Doctorate frequently provide therapy, counseling, and assessment services. Their training emphasizes practical application of psychological theories and interventions, enabling them to help people navigate emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges effectively.
