Clinical psychology is a specialty within psychology focused on assessing, diagnosing, and treating mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders through therapy and psychological testing. Clinical psychologists work in hospitals, private practices, and community mental health centers, using approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy to help patients with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. The field requires doctoral-level training (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) and licensure to practice independently.
