Clinical psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the assessment, case conceptualization, and treatment of mental illness and disability.
For more than 40 years, The Chicago School’s clinical psychology programs have trained psychologists in assessment, case conceptualization, and evidence-based models of psychotherapy. Through closely-supervised practicum and an internship, students receive extensive hands-on experience working in clinical settings, preparing them to work with clients of all ages to promote optimal personality development, emotional health, and well-being.
As engaged members of their communities, clinical psychologists utilize their skills and knowledge of cultural and individual differences to help clients with a variety of needs, ranging from conflicts impacting relationships, workplace, or school environments to more severe situations involving phobias, affective disorders, or more severe mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
The Psy.D. Clinical Psychology is The Chicago School's flagship program—with more than 40 years of experience and a strong reputation to match, you will be immersed in a strong clinical environment, learning from experts in the field.
The Chicago School’s Clinical Psychology programs equip graduates with the skills necessary to succeed as licensed clinical psychologists in a variety of fields.
