What is a Psychologist? A psychologist is a professional who applies the science of human behavior to the resolution of problems. Doctoral level psychologists typically have four or more years of graduate training beyond the bachelor's degree, as well as a one-year internship in a clinical setting and additional training as psychological residents. To be licensed, psychologists must provide evidence of appropriate education, training, and experience. Candidates for licensure are then required to pass a nationally standardized written examination in order to receive their license from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All psychologists at the Center are licensed in Pennsylvania. Psychology residents are supervised by licensed psychologists.           American Psychological Assn. | Pennsylvania Psychological Assn. | APA's Help Center | Contact Us © Copyright 2008.
