Frequently Asked Questions: Hiring Psychologists
What is the difference between psychologists and psychiatrists?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD/DO) who can prescribe medications. Psychologists hold doctoral degrees (PhD/PsyD) and primarily provide therapy and psychological testing. In most states, psychologists cannot prescribe medications (exceptions include Louisiana, New Mexico, Idaho, Iowa, and Illinois). Both can diagnose and treat mental health conditions.
Why are psychologists in such high demand?
The mental health crisis has created unprecedented demand for psychological services. Wait times for psychologists often exceed 2-3 months. The pandemic accelerated need for mental health care, and insurance coverage has expanded. Psychologists' expertise in evidence-based therapies makes them essential for healthcare systems.
What psychology specializations are most sought after?
High-demand psychology specialties include: Clinical Psychology (general practice), Health Psychology (integrated care), Neuropsychology (testing), Child and Adolescent Psychology, and Forensic Psychology. Psychologists with expertise in trauma, eating disorders, or substance abuse are particularly sought after.
How do I recruit psychologists effectively?
Psychologist recruitment requires understanding their values: clinical autonomy, manageable caseloads, support for evidence-based practice, and professional development. Highlight competitive compensation (many are underpaid relative to training), work-life balance, and meaningful work. Direct outreach to passive candidates is often more effective than job postings.
