In some states, people with only a Master's degree can open a private practice in whatever branch of Psych they are licensed in (Marriage counseling, addiction counseling, etc.).

In all likelihood, you're going to want another one to two years on top of that to earn more types of accreditations and certifications. At 6-9 years, you'll only be allowed to take certain kinds of cases, not all.To become a psychologist do you attend 6-9 years including undergraduate and graduate school?
