Ping’s Answer

Becoming a psychologist is a rewarding journey that takes dedication and time. It starts with a bachelor’s degree in psychology or a related field, followed by a graduate degree—usually a Ph.D. or Psy.D. for those pursuing clinical or counseling work.

Psychologists continue learning throughout their careers to stay current and effective.
