Just like other health care providers such as family physicians, medical specialists and nurses, psychologists are regulated health professionals. They see people of all ages, working with them as individuals, in couples or in families. Psychologists also work with groups, organizations, companies and government agencies.
Although many psychologists both assess and treat psychological problems, some provide only specialized assessment services. When working with individuals, psychologists use psychological tests and informed discussion to help clients and patients identify problems or issues and to work on solutions. They also work with groups and organizations to assess individuals and foster behaviour change. Most psychologists work in their own offices or in clinics, schools, or institutional settings such as hospitals, prisons or places of business.
