A clinical psychologist is a mental health professional who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health disorders. They use psychological testing, therapy, and other interventions to help individuals, couples, families, and groups cope with emotional, behavioral, and mental health problems. Clinical psychologists typically have a doctoral degree in psychology and are trained to work with a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, and schizophrenia. They work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private practices, schools, and government agencies, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to their patients.
