Use The Top Psychologist Long Island Has

By Etta Bowen


Psychologists in Long Island and worldwide have the clinical skills as well as the professional training that helps people learn how to cope better with all mental problems as well as life issues. The sort of psychologist Long Island offers is able to provide many different services which include evaluations after many years of graduate school and supervised training. They will give thought to their client's goals, situation, morals and character.

Many people tend to get mixed up with psychologist and psychiatrists and what each of them means. They are both described as a professional who provides therapy but the services are different in terms of range and content. The easiest way to describe the difference is in the education that each receives.

A psychologist needs to have a doctoral level degree in psychology while a psychiatrist needs a degree in medicine. All psychologists will pursue a Doctor of Philosophy or a Doctor of Psychology in either counselling or medical. They generally take about five to seven years to complete and in many states and extra one to two years is added for an internship. Others still require extra years for supervised practise before they are granted their licenses.

A Clinical Psychologist is concerned with treatment, assessment, diagnosis as well as helping to prevent any mental disorders. They generally will work in hospitals and private practise and are not allowed to give out medications as they are not technically medical doctors. They do however work with those that suffer from schizophrenia and they all keep very detailed reports of all who come to see them.

One such therapist is Dr Le-Ben Wan who specializes in psychopharmacology and psychotherapy. Psychopharmacology is the study on how drugs effect peoples moods, behaviour, sensations as well as thinking. The name psych comes from the Greek word "breath, soul, life" and pharmacology from the word "drug". All drugs have some kind of chemical interaction with the brain as the substance travels from the receptors found in the nervous system causing many changes. He specialises in peer relationships, anxiety and depression as well.

Psychoanalytic therapy is one of the most used and is more commonly known as talking to clients. The therapist will look for any events or patterns that could be the cause of some of the client's problems. Many believe that events in ones childhood as well as unconscious feelings and thoughts could also play a major part in mental illness and actions.

Peer relationship is when adolescents develop close friendships and tend to turn to one another instead of their families. Many times they will change their way of speaking, activities, behaviour as well as dress. This could cause problems for them and is described as crisis of identity versus identity confusion. Peer pressure is known to have negative outcomes and may include alcohol and drug use as well as wearing inappropriate clothing.

Psychologists in Long Island and around the world are aware that anxiety and stress are not very different. Anxiety is just another name for long term stress and this can eventually cause an anxiety disorder. Symptoms such as shakiness and heart racing, sweating and the inability to breath are all physical manifestations.
