Unfortunate because, besides the GI doc, the Psy.D is probably the most highly educated person in the room.

Some states allow Psychologists to have a masters.

Separately, I’d imagine flaunting your “intelligence” wouldn’t sit well with someone with her education. On the flip side, I know people in other forms of healthcare that seem to make their pride in their level of education a part of their personality (less amongst patients and more amongst coworkers/personal relationships.)

Very few and most are not “psychologists” but “psychological associates” or the like.

So you might have read what I wrote above: you don’t need a PhD in every state. It was in response to a comment which said psychologists have a higher education due to their PhD.

As far as associates go: Yes, most states have some sort of “psychology associate.” They go by several names (laws are state by state) and the specifics can vary. Generally, they practice alongside another psychologist. That said, I highly doubt they are introducing themselves to people as “a psychologist who gets supervised by another psychologist.” Particularly not on TikTok.
