Both a psychologist and a psychiatrist can hold therapy sessions with the child in question. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor that has received specialized training after the standard medical school stint, whereas a psychologist is not. Psychiatrists are also the only one out of the two who can write prescriptions for medication. Usually, a psychologist will work with the child first, and if he or she determines that there is a need for medicine, he or she will then refer the child to the psychiatrist.
Most all practicing licensed child psychologists have a PhD.
The advantages of being a child psychologist is the reward one can get with helping children overcome their disabilities and deficiencies. A child psychologist also has flexible work schedules and has a high earning potential. Some of the disadvantages include the stress in dealing with children who need more attention and the continuous search for new prospects.

Oh of course the child needs a bedroom. They need a place to feel safe, and have their own private area away from what ever else goes on around them.
