Child Psychologist and Child Nutritionist?
As far as the psychology aspect, any practicing psychologist has to get a Ph.D. or if you want to be a therapist quicker there are a few master level routes you can take (MFT, LCSW). All options, however, require licensure in your home state. Though this is probably a far away consideration, the clinical psychology PH.D. programs are competitive to say the least and therefore require a lot of undergraduate accomplishments (possibly research, leadership roles, presentations, grades, ect..). It may behove you to look at the psychology faculty at any given school and decide which ones are focusing on clinical psych, which ones have child psych experience, and which ones have extracurricular activities. You can also get a lot of information from the American Psychological ociation on the web. I went to a state college for my udergrad and am graduating with a Ph.D. in August, so I think the opportunities are there at many private and public schools - you just have to seek them out.
