What is a PhD psychologist?
A PhD psychologist completed a research-focused doctorate in clinical or counseling psychology along with supervised clinical training. PhD psychologists provide psychotherapy and psychological testing, and many also teach or do research. For a client, therapy with a PhD psychologist is much like therapy with a PsyD; the difference lies mostly in how the degree program was weighted.
