Difference between Psychiatrist vs. Therapist
PSYCHIATRIST
Psychiatrists are physicians trained in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. These treatments may include prescribing medications. Physician Assistants also do the same thing. On your initial visit, we will develop a treatment plan, that may include the use of medication. After your first appointment, subsequent visits together are important to assess wellness and to sustain a long-lasting positive change.
THERAPIST
Therapists are mental health professionals skilled in utilizing talk therapy, which helps patients recognize and navigate through personal issues. During your initial session, we will get to know you and learn your relevant history in a comfortable way that best suits you. After your first session, we will work together to achieve your goals with takeaways so that you know each session has been valuable to you.
