When it comes to dealing with emotional, relationship, or other psychological issues, there are many different types of qualified professionals who can provide help. A licensed professional with a doctorate in clinical psychology has completed years of study and intensive training, plus has done a rigorous clinical internship working in a supervised setting, and at least one year of post-doctoral supervised experience before they begin to practice on their own. And people who seek therapy are generally not sick or crazy. People come to therapy for many reasons but basically it’s to improve their capacity to achieve fulfillment and satisfaction in their personal and/or professional relationships, their personal and career goals, and, importantly, feelings about themselves.
