<em>There are four common steps to become a psychologist: earning a bachelor's degree; obtaining an advanced psychology degree (i.e., a master's, doctorate or both) from an accredited program; completing at least a one-year internship or postdoctoral program to gain experience working with patients; and obtaining a license, which includes passing a test on foundational knowledge. All together, the path to becoming a licensed psychologist can take up to eight years.</em>
