hi
My sister has done masters in clinical Psychology from a non US university. She is currently working as a lecturer in Malysia. She is immigrating to US with her family. I want to know what are different options if she wants to work here in the field of psychology.
Is there any exam/test that she has to take or she has to repeat her degree here and what are different job options for her.
Thanking you in advance for your help.

At the MS level she may be limited in being able to be licensed to do therapy-related things. It probably varies greatly by state, so she'd have to contact the state licensing board and inquire about equivalency requirements for her degree and possible licensing options. She could probably lecture at a community college if she has experience in the area.
