Psychologist Jobs in District of Columbia

A Psychologist plays a vital role in the mental health industry, providing critical support and services to individuals experiencing mental health issues. They are responsible for diagnosing and treating a variety of emotional, mental, and behavioral disorders. Their duties often include conducting psychological tests, providing psychotherapy, and researching human behavior. They might work in a variety of settings such as hospitals, schools, government agencies, and private practices. A Psychologist needs strong observational skills to accurately assess patients' behavior, critical thinking skills to find the best treatment solution, and excellent communication skills to effectively interact with patients.
