She isn't a doctor, not a medical one but she does have a PHD... So its quite legal for her and others to insinuate she is a medical practitioner when she isn't.
It is appropriate to address someone as Dr when they have a PhD. It does not have to be a medical degree. Nowhere have I heard any impression trying to pass her off as a medical doctor.
Not really. You cannot assume that when someone is addressed as Dr that they are in medicine. That title is appropriate for anyone that has earned a doctorate - no matter what academic genre their degree covers. For example, theologians with a doctorate are addressed as Dr, as well as anyone else that has earned that title. The assumption that being addressed in that manner automatically means medicine is the fault of the person making the assumption.

I know, but the mention that she is a psychologist does give the impression that she is a medic.

The word "psychologist" is the signifer
She says that she has a political psychology certificate from the Stanford Institute.
