Given the referenced hemisphere model of the brain is largely refuted I find it unlikely this person is a real [competent] psychologist
depends on the degree. BA in psych doesn't usually require it, whereas BS typically does. BA in psych (unfortunately by far the most popular program) is like a sociocultural degree but with pretensions of offering treatment. BS in psych OTOH is reasonably demanding, sort of a pre-med lite. no Ochem and the highest required math is typically some sort of applied stats for health sciences.
