Some common tasks include conducting assessments and evaluations, providing therapy or counseling sessions, researching and analyzing data, developing treatment plans, and collaborating with other professionals. They may also engage in administrative tasks such as maintaining records and documentation.

Elaina, you've asked a fantastic question! The daily tasks of Psychologists can indeed differ greatly depending on their role and workplace. Typically, a Psychologist might spend their day in one-on-one counseling sessions or leading group therapy discussions on common issues like Parenting, Addiction, Grief Counseling, Couples Counseling, or Post Traumatic Stress.
Some Psychologists specialize in Mental Health and collaborate with a team of Social Workers or Psychiatrists. A key part of their role is conducting assessments and tests to pinpoint issues that affect an individual's behavior and functioning. For instance, many schools employ School Psychologists to test for learning disabilities.
Another routine task for any Mental Health Professional is maintaining records and writing reports. So, having the ability to write clear and concise reports is a valuable skill.
I strongly encourage you to talk to Psychologists about your interest and to read widely on the different work environments. These resources will give you a more comprehensive understanding of what the daily tasks involve. Keep asking questions, Elaina. Your curiosity will take you far!
