The first step would be to get an undergraduate degree in Psychology. You will likely need a master's degree in psychology to practice.

Amanda’s Answer

Hi there! There's a bit of schooling, but you can do it!
Complete a bachelors degree in a related field, such as psychology, behavioral health, counseling or mental health. After that...
Complete a Master's degree, and after that, a Doctorate! Sadly, a Master's degree does not qualify you to become a child psychologist.
A Ph.D takes about 4-7 years to complete.
After this, you'll complete psychology licensure, meaning you'll have clinical hours, ranging from 1,500-6,000 hours, depending on the state you are in. Then you will become board certified by passing an exam!
