Your care team will be led by your psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner who will work with you to develop a personalized care plan. Depending on your needs, you may see more than one type of mental health professional.
Your care may include visiting with a psychologist or psychotherapist who has an advanced degree in psychology—the science of mind and behavior. Psychologists can diagnosis and treat mental illnesses and they use talk therapy to help you understand your thoughts and behavior patterns. They are sometimes referred to as therapists and cannot prescribe medications.
You’ll need a referral from your primary care provider or a specialist for this service.
