Psychology
Spanish term or phrase: doctora
¡Buenos días! Mi duda es la siguiente. En un diálogo, un policía conversa con una psicóloga policial. Él se dirige a ella como "doctora". ¿Cómo es el tratamiento adecuado en inglés?

Ella es una psicóloga que trabaja atendiendo a policías. En este caso en particular, está conversando con todos los agentes de una comisaría para determinar cuál de ellos tiene el mejor perfil para ser comisario.

Muchas gracias.
