Licensed Psychologist Business Cards for PhD PsyD Clinical and Counseling Psychologists

Licensed psychologists are the doctoral-level mental health and behavioral health professionals who provide the full range of psychological services — from individual psychotherapy and couple/family therapy through comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessments, forensic evaluations, behavioral consultation, organizational psychology consulting, and psychological research. Psychologists hold the highest level of independent mental health professional licensure and are distinguished from other mental health providers by their doctoral training and competence in psychological assessment and testing.
