How to become an entry level psychologist?

To become an entry-level psychologist, you need to have a graduate degree in therapy or psychology in addition to undergraduate qualifications and state licenses. Some employers seek candidates with doctorates, but many mental health organizations hire those with a master’s degree from a school accredited by the American Psychological Association. You should also seek to complete a clinical internship as part of your education. This counseling experience is invaluable as you start your career in an entry-level psychologist position. In addition to your education and licensing requirements, you should have excellent communication skills and an abundance of patience and empathy.
