Summit Psychological Associates typically employs licensed psychologists or mental health professionals with relevant degrees and supervised experience. Licensed Psychologists have doctoral degrees and are fully licensed to diagnose and treat mental health conditions independently. While Summit Psychological Associates may include licensed psychologists, they often also work with other mental health providers. Both roles focus on mental health services, but licensed psychologists have a higher level of certification and autonomy.
