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?

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Sterling Heights, we offer:

★★★★★
I appreciate how easy it is to talk to my therapist and how she challenges me with questions and worksheets. Her insights into what I share are so informative and helpful. I was afraid of the process at first, about finding the right fit, but it's been amazing and I look forward to going and working on myself.
