What Our Patients Say
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
A psychiatrist is a mental health provider who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental health conditions. They can prescribe medication, provide psychotherapy, and offer other forms of treatment. A therapist, on the other hand, is a mental health professional who specializes in talk therapy and other forms of psychotherapy. They do not prescribe medication, but they can work with a psychiatrist to provide comprehensive care.
How do I know if I need therapy or medication?
The decision to pursue therapy, medication, or both depends on the nature and severity of your symptoms, as well as your personal preferences and treatment goals. In general, therapy is recommended for mild to moderate symptoms, while medication may be necessary for more severe or persistent symptoms. A psychiatrist or therapist can help you determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
What can I expect during my first appointment with a psychiatrist or therapist?
During your first appointment, your psychiatrist or therapist will likely ask you about your symptoms, medical history, and personal background. They may also administer assessments or screenings to help with diagnosis and treatment planning. This initial appointment is an opportunity for you to ask questions, discuss your treatment goals, and determine whether the psychiatrist or therapist is a good fit for you.
How long does therapy typically last?
The length of therapy varies depending on the nature and severity of your symptoms, as well as your treatment goals. In general, short-term therapy may last anywhere from 6 to 20 sessions, while long-term therapy may continue for several months or even years. Your therapist or psychiatrist will work with you to determine the most appropriate length of treatment for your individual needs.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, therapy is confidential, meaning that your therapist or psychiatrist cannot share information about your treatment without your consent, except in certain circumstances such as if they believe you are at risk of harm to yourself or others. However, there are some limits to confidentiality that will be discussed during your first session.
How do I choose a therapist or psychiatrist?
When choosing a therapist or psychiatrist, it’s important to find someone who is licensed, experienced, and specializes in the type of treatment you need. You can ask for recommendations from your primary care physician, insurance company, or trusted friends and family members. You can also search for licensed mental health professionals through online directories or professional organizations. It’s important to schedule a consultation or initial appointment to ensure that the therapist or psychiatrist is a good fit for you.
How much does therapy or psychiatry cost?
The cost of therapy or psychiatry varies depending on the type of treatment, location, and insurance coverage. Many therapists and psychiatrists offer sliding scale fees or accept insurance, so it’s important to inquire about fees and coverage before beginning treatment. If you are uninsured or underinsured, there may be low-cost or free mental health services available in your community.
