Dr. Phil McGraw, one of the most well-known and trusted mental health professionals in the world, is the host of daytime TV’s top-rated program, Dr. Phil. Now in its 22nd season, this trailblazing and award-winning platform continues to provide the most comprehensive forum on mental health issues in the history of television. Dr. McGraw’s unique ability to take complicated and technical information and make it accessible and understandable to the general public has distinguished him both among viewers and within his profession.

In 2006, Dr. McGraw was honored with the coveted Presidential Citation by the American Psychological Association for his significant contributions to the field of psychology. The citation read in part, “Your work has touched more Americans than any other living psychologist.” Using the medium of television, Dr. McGraw presents real, compelling stories stripping away the stigma too often associated with mental illness and the quest for help. Embracing his years of training and experience, Dr. McGraw advocates evidence-based treatment options and state-of-the-art research in the fields of psychology, psychiatry and medicine.

Since its inception, Dr. Phil has provided over $35 million in resources for its guests off-camera, after appearing onstage. Dr. McGraw has signed an unprecedented multiyear deal with CBS Media Ventures to continue his eponymous show through 2023.
