Introduction: Clinical psychology is a branch of psychology in charge of providing consultancy to people with problems that compromise their quality of life. The literature has suggested that the best predictor of quality care is associated with supervision and professional preparation. That status in Mexico is unknown. Objectives: To carry out a survey of the number and type of problems dealt with by professionals, as well as to observe whether experience and training have an impact on their practice Method: A survey was carried out in the national federation of schools, societies and associations of Psychologists of Mexico, A.C. (FENAPSIME) with an instrument to determine the current state of practice in psychology Results: There were significant differences (.05) regarding the number and severity of problems addressed according to the educational level and focus of the participants. Conclusion: Different associations and universities are encouraged to take up the points described by professionals as a first line of defense for the professionalization of psychology.
