What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
In Georgetown, TX, there are a number of different types of therapists and counselors, including:
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Specialized in marriage and family therapy, addressing conflict within families and couples to help improve relationships, while also providing treatment for other mental health concerns.
