In
order to help you locate psychologists who meet your specific
needs, you may choose one or more of the 38
areas of expertise we have listed . These are areas
of practice chosen by the psychologist, based on their specific
education and training experience.
To
help, we offer general categories (psychological assessment,
individual psychotherapy, couples psychotherapy, family
psychotherapy, and group psychotherapy). Next are more specialized
services (e.g., clinical neuropsychological assessment and
play therapy) or problems (e.g. depression). We often provide
examples for terms that may be less familiar. To help
consumers we offer general categories: specialized assessment and intervention categories.Wherever possible,
we tried to use commonly understood terminology, rather
than the diagnostic label.

Please
note: Although the National Register conducts primary
source verification of education, training, licensure, and
board certification, it is beyond the scope of our ability
to collect primary source documentation regarding the education
and training necessary to list areas of expertise. As a
safeguard, the Registrant is required to attest to the accuracy
of the information provided. Most Registrants have documented
the education, training, and experience which are the basis
for listing the area of expertise. However, not all Registrants
have listed areas of expertise.
