PSYCHOLOGIST
Contributors who listed PSYCHOLOGIST on federal itemized receipts account for $26.7M, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 43,226 contributions from only 941 donors — one of the shortest unique-donor lists among clinical titles in this harvest. PSYCHOLOGIST is a self-reported employer/occupation string, not a NAICS outpatient-care sector, and it is not merged with PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, PSYCHIATRIST, or a clinic name. License-board rosters are a different list.
Key figures
- PSYCHOLOGIST-labeled receipts total $26.7M.
- Only 941 donors produced 43,226 contribution lines.
- PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and clinic employers are separate strings.
- PSYCHOLOGIST is self-reported FEC text, not a NAICS industry.
A clinical credential, a short unique-name list
Many psychologists type the credential in both FEC boxes. Others type a university, a hospital, or a group practice. Those named employers are other keys. The $26.7M total is the PSYCHOLOGIST string.
NAICS 6213 is not applied. Psychiatrists who typed PHYSICIAN or PSYCHIATRIST are not inside this figure. Counselors who typed other titles are elsewhere.
941 donors, 43,226 lines, $26.7M
941 donors produced 43,226 PSYCHOLOGIST contribution lines totaling $26.7M. Unique-donor count is far below DENTIST and PHYSICIAN. Dollars can still reach the mid-twenty millions on a short professional list. This page does not invent a mean gift.
Party share is not on this industry headline. Association PACs are committees, not this individual-label rollup.

Questions
- How much have PSYCHOLOGIST donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $26.7M to the PSYCHOLOGIST FEC string, from 43,226 contributions and 941 donors. PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and clinic names are separate. The label is not a NAICS outpatient-care total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Does this include psychiatrists?
- Only if they typed PSYCHOLOGIST. Psychiatrists who typed PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, or PSYCHIATRIST are in other rows. The $26.7M figure is this credential string only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Why so few donors relative to the dollars?
- The unique-donor count is 941 against 43,226 contribution lines. Repeat gifts and large itemized amounts can produce $26.7M on a short list. The packet does not publish an average. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- How many unique psychologist donors are listed?
- The rollup counts 941 donors and 43,226 contribution lines. This is not a state-board licensee census. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. This answer uses only the packet totals for that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov, with no NAICS overlay applied.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
