There are different types of psychologists.
Social psychologists study groups. Experimental psychologists do research, in order learn more about animal and human behavior. Vocational psychologists help people make career decisions and find work. Finally, clinical psychologists aim to understand people and their problems, and help them solve their difficulties.
You can select a psychologist according their specialty areas (depression, trauma, relationships, etc.), the kind of approaches and techniques they use (EMDR, family therapy, etc.) and according to the groups their usually treat (children, teens, individual adults, couples).
I’m a clinical psychologist. I work with individual adults and couples. The approaches and techniques I use include a psychodynamic approach (also known as insight-oriented), systemic therapy (also known as family or couples therapy) and EMDR.
