Some professionals study behavior and mental processes. One such type of professionals is a Beverly Hills psychologist who evaluates, diagnoses and also treats individuals as well as studies their behaviors, not forgetting the mental processes. You get many different types of these professionals. In fact according to the American Psychological Association you get 56 different types of such people. These include: Clinical or Counseling, Academics, and Industrial or Organizational. Let's take a look at what each one of these different category of professionals do.

To begin, a Clinical Councillor provides counseling and therapy to their patients in varying or different contexts. The counseling given is determined by the patients' needs and individual problems. Such people most of the time have their own practice as well as practice numbers.

When it comes to an Industrial or Organizational practitioner this is someone who applies psychological theories to actual life scenarios. Such scenarios include problems in the area where one works. They provide such solutions to social benefit organizations, government and industry

And finally, Academics do research and teach or lecture on the topic of psychology. Such people can also be professors. They help train future psychological personnel

These professionals are described as either being "research-orientated" or "applied" or "scientists" or "scholars" verses "practitioners" and "professionals". The training model endorsed by the APA is that they be trained as both researchers and practitioners and, furthermore, they possess advanced degrees.

In the Untied States most of these individuals are working in the clinical field with 152,000 people out of 170,200 being employed as such. 2,300 are working in industrial-organizational field and the rest (15,900) working in the remaining positions. A counseling psychological professional's average salary in 2012 was almost seventy thousand dollars and the salary for an organizational professional was almost eighty four thousand dollars.

As a result psychiatrists often prescribe psychotropic medication to treat their patients in order to alleviate mental distress and suffering whereas councilors do not.

To conclude, there are many different types of these mental health professionals - 56 to be precise. The main three groups are: Clinical, Industrial as well as academic. Such health-care professionals aim at alleviating mental suffering and addressing certain thought patterns and behaviors. In Beverly Hills, CA, they differ from psychiatrists in that they do not use medication normally although in some jurisdictions they can prescribe medication to patients.
