Clinical psychology is the largest branch of the field of psychology, bringing together science, theory, and practice in order to assess and treat mental health issues. Clinical psychologists can be found working in a variety of settings, including community mental health agencies, college counseling centers, independent or group practices, hospitals, research settings, and private companies.
The demand for mental health professionals, particularly those with doctoral degrees, is expected to increase over the next decade. The rise in the number of company employee assistance programs, as well as the overall need for more counseling services as individuals struggle to cope with the pressures of everyday life and work, will contribute to this growth in demand.
