Psychiatrist vs. Psychologist vs. Psychotherapist
First Session therapist Paula Fernández breaks down the differences in these designations.

Transcript: (Please note these are generalizations)

"The way that I break it down is, you have your Psychiatrist, who is focusing primarily on diagnosing and treating through medication.

You have a Psychologist, who will diagnose.

Then you have a Psychotherapist, who works with just treating an individual whether they have a diagnosis or not."

- Paula Fernández
