Clinical psychologists with a Ph.D. or Psy.D. are trained to provide psychotherapy and are licensed to do so. They may work in a variety of settings, such as private practice, hospitals, clinics, or schools. Social workers may also provide therapy, but they typically have a Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) rather than a doctoral degree in psychology. Psychoanalysts may focus on a specific type of psychotherapy, but this is not exclusive to those with a Ph.D. or Psy.D. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who may also provide therapy, but their focus is primarily on medication management for mental health conditions rather than psychotherapy.
