What is the Average Psychologist Salary?
If you’re interested in becoming a clinical psychologist, be prepared to commit to significant education and training. Clinical psychologists generally earn a doctorate degree in psychology, although some psychologists may end their education with a master’s degree. While many clinical psychologists have a practice-oriented career focused on diagnosing and treating clients, others work in research, education, administrative positions and other areas. For those involved in providing therapy to clients, psychologists may deal with serious mental disorders as well as personal issues like divorce, grief, life changes and many other issues. Work settings for clinical psychologists include private offices, hospitals, health centers, universities and other settings. Some may choose to specialize in child psychology, neuropsychology or other areas. When it comes to income for a clinical psychologist, average salaries can be quite high. According to PayScale’s data showing a Psychologist Salary by Employer Type, self-employed clinical psychologists often earn higher average salaries than psychologists working in many other settings. There is high salary potential in this field,but it can take time to establish a practice and develop a stable clientele. For all psychologists, skills will continue to be honed and greater knowledge and expertise will be gained throughout a career. Luckily, salaries should also continue to increase along with experience, as shown on the chart comparing Psychologist Salary by Years Experience.
