clinical psychologist
Mental health professional
A clinical psychologist is a mental health professional who diagnoses and treats psychological disorders through therapy and assessment rather than medication.
Unlike psychiatrists, clinical psychologists hold doctoral degrees in psychology rather than medical degrees: My clinical psychologist specializes in anxiety disorders.
They use talk therapy, behavioral interventions, and psychological testing.
