How to be one?

Well, you follow a standard path of studying Psychology in Undergraduation

Then, doing a Master's program in Applied Psychology, Organizational Psychology, Military Psychology, Clinical Psychology,etc
There exists lots of institutes and universities..

More important is the Internship like hands work in Organizations, Hospitals, NGOs, etc. It requires about certain number of hours eg 120hours for a semester I had. And then 6months of Training under a supervision from a Specialist eg Psychiatrist, Clinical Psychologist, etc.

One has to enroll into a RCI certificate program for 6month to 12month period as well and show them a required work experience. From there the licensing happens.

Then one can practice in their clinic or do else. Frankly, the real Jobs which Psychology can serve haven't been created.
This is like Consciousness Engineering, Hypnotherapy ,etc are not practiced. There is a huge lack of Psychologists and you will make Humanity proud if you enter the path......

Hope it helps!

●First, earn a bachelor’s degree: Psychologists often start by earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Prerequisite courses include general psychology, experimental and developmental psychology, and statistics.

●It’s helpful to gain experience while you’re in school: If you’re interested in experimental psychology, help a professor with her research project. Work with handicapped children, if you’re interested in developmental psychology. Volunteer in a mental health clinic, if you’re interested in clinical or counseling psychology. If you get hands-on experience during your psychology degree, you may find it easier to find a job after school.

●Research graduate programs: Learn about the various programs to find the psychology master’s degree that’s best for you. The school you choose will depend on your interests and the specialties of the faculty at the schools you’re considering.


●Choose a degree and specialty: Which field is right for you, clinical psychology or counseling psychology? Research psychology or industrial-organizational psychology? Will you need a master’s degree, PsyD, PhD, EdD or EdS?


●Complete a doctorate in psychology: Most fields of psychology require a doctorate. Psychology graduate schools look for a competitive score on the GRE (1200 or more), a GPA of 3.3 or higher, and volunteer or paid experience in the field.

●Do a psychology internship: States normally require you to do a two-year supervised internship. This is a good idea for many reasons: you get on-the-job training, you learn whether a certain specialty is right for you, and you get the satisfaction of helping others. Internships in clinical and counseling psychology may need to be approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) because jobs in mental health sometimes require an APA-approved internship.

●Get licensed to practice psychology: All states require you to fulfill certain requirements before they’ll grant you a license. You must also pass a national exam and, in some cases, present a case study to a board of psychologists. Check your state’s requirements early
