Child PsychologistThis profession requires the psychologist to have a doctorate in psychology, psychiatry, developmental psychology, or any other specialized area that focuses on children and families. Child psychologists work with children who have emotional, behavioral, social, and other mental problems. Child psychologists can be found in schools, clinics, private practices, nursing facilities, government agencies, and hospitals. Responsibilities in this career include developing tailored treatment plans for each individual child, conducting therapeutic sessions with the child, groups and families. Management responsibility includes managing workloads, training, research, administering tests such as IQ and entrance assessments and more, and working within normal business hours (Psychology Career Center, 2016). After a child psychologist has completed their school training, they can also, if they wish, go into private practice, a PhD with clinical experience makes this easier to accomplish. Additionally, to become a counseling psychologist, you must meet state licensing requirements, which typically require completion of an internship and one to two years of supervised work. The average reported income for a counseling psychologist is $76,040 per year. The projected growth rate for all psychological jobs through 2024 averages 20% (Study, 2016). Counseling psychologists are not usually psychiatrists or psychologists in other fields. However, a counseling psychologist helps clients overcome stressors in their life, depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems. They can help children or adults, attempting to subvert serious mental illnesses, as a counseling psychologist typically does not work with patients suffering from serious mental illnesses (Psychology Career Center,
