What is a panel beater called in America?

Psychotherapists' educational backgrounds vary depending on their specific profession. Generally, psychologists who provide therapy often hold doctoral degrees such as a Ph.D. or Psy.D., but they do not attend medical school and are not medical doctors. Instead, they complete graduate programs focused on psychology, mental health, and therapy techniques. On the other hand, some mental health professionals, such as psychiatrists, are medical doctors who have attended medical school, completed residency training in psychiatry, and can prescribe medication. Therefore, whether a psychotherapist has attended medical school depends on their professional designation, but most do not have a medical degree and focus primarily on psychotherapy and counseling.
