Psychologist Jobs in Iowa

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.

Certification and state licensure are mandatory for Psychologists. They need a Doctoral degree in Psychology, which entails a dissertation based on original research. They also need to complete an internship, gain at least 1 to 2 years of supervised professional experience, and pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology. Prior to becoming a Psychologist, individuals might have roles as a Mental Health Counselor, Social Worker or a Psychiatric Technician - all roles that can provide valuable experience for becoming a Psychologist.
