Psychologists work for mental health practices to help clients manage psychological challenges in their life. They decide what kind of therapy programs and mental health treatments are most appropriate for each client, recording their progress and making adjustments based on their response to different approaches to treatment. Psychologists talk to their patients about the symptoms they experience and help them identify the source of irregular thoughts, emotions and behaviors. They help clients process conflict and trauma, cultivating a safe and trusting environment where clients can be honest about their challenges.
