What You Need to Know Before Choosing a Therapist

A psychologist is a professional who studies human behavior and mental processes, including thoughts, emotions, and actions.

They often work in various settings, such as clinics, hospitals, schools, or businesses, where they assess, diagnose, and treat psychological issues through non-medical methods like counseling, psychotherapy, and behavioral interventions. Psychologists typically hold a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in psychology. They typically receive a two-year master's degree in psychology and then on to complete an additional three years of education to gain a doctorate in psychological disorders.

They then need to complete an internship/residency program and an additional two years of clinical supervision working full-time with patients in community settings.

A psychiatrist, on the other hand, is a medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.) specializing in mental health. They can diagnose mental health disorders, prescribe medication, and provide a range of treatments, including psychotherapy.

The key difference is that psychiatrists have medical training (with an average additional training of one year in psychological disorders), allowing them to prescribe medications and manage physical aspects of mental health conditions, while psychologists focus more on therapeutic approaches without prescribing medications.
