Reading the Numbers
SkillSelect ranks every Expression of Interest by points and invites from the top down, so your real question is not whether you pass a mark but how many people sit above you. For the Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated), 75 points is a ranking score of 80, once the +5 nomination bonus is counted. The table above reads that score against the Psychotherapist pool position by position.
Psychotherapist is not on the 189 (points-only) list, so the ranking scores above already include the state nomination bonus (+5 for the Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated)). Your invitation still depends on a state actually nominating you.
