Who should I see, a psychiatrist or a psychologist? What is the difference?
A psychiatrist is a medically trained professional that can prescribe medication to treat illnesses. A psychologist is a professional trained in the art and science of therapy and counseling and does not prescribe medication. In general psychiatrists and psychologists collaborate on treating patients, therefore, we recommended a consult with a psychiatrist first who may then refer you to a psychologist after a medical intervention has been implemented.
How long will my appointment take?
The length of your visit depends on the type of service provided. Psychiatric and Neurological consultations take 30 minutes for an initial assessment and 15 minutes for follow up appointments. Sessions with a psychologist generally take 1 hour.
