Clinical psychologists work across diverse settings, including hospitals, mental health clinics, academic institutions, corporate organizations, and private practices. They cater to individuals across all age groups, addressing developmental, emotional, and psychological needs while considering cultural, social, and environmental factors that influence mental health.
