As a well-known mental health professional and host of Dr. Phil, now in its 15th season, McGraw has reached worldwide fame through his ability to take complicated and technical information and make it accessible and understandable to the general public. He presents compelling stories about real people with a variety of emotional and behavioral problems, stripping away the shame and embarrassment that too often keeps people from seeking help.
McGraw continues to value his academic training and professional qualifications and insists that the information provided on his show is based on evidence-based treatment options and state-of-the-art research in the fields of psychology, psychiatry and medicine. Since its inception, the show has provided over $30 million in aftercare services for its guests.
Before his television career, McGraw founded Courtroom Sciences, Inc., (CSI), a groundbreaking trial science firm specializing in all aspects of litigation support, providing multi-disciplinary expertise in all areas of litigation and forensic arenas.
He worked side by side with top lawyers from around the world in the most high profile cases, and his work there inspired Bull, on which he serves as co-creator, executive producer and writer.
He’s also the author of nine New York Times bestselling novels, and with his oldest son, Jay, created the telemedicine system “Doctor on Demand” to deliver medical and psychiatric care via a mobile device. In 2003, he and his wife, Robin, established the Dr. Phil Foundation, a nonprofit that funds projects benefiting disadvantaged children and families.
He is often called upon for his expert opinion by major national and international news outlets, and frequently testifies before Congress on high profile topics such as the overmedication of children in the foster care system, the growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes, cyber-bullying and domestic violence.
McGraw has a doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of North Texas, and a post-doctoral fellowship in forensic psychology from the Wilmington Institute. He was a licensed psychologist in the state of Texas where he practiced clinical psychology and developed one of the country’s first multi-modal protocols for the treatment of chronic pain.
