Understanding the differences between Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Counselors can help you make informed decisions about your mental health care. Here's a quick guide: - **Psychiatrists**: Medical doctors (MD or DO) who can diagnose, treat, and prevent mental health disorders. They can prescribe medication and offer psychotherapy. We collaborate with psychiatrists for medication management and complex evaluations. - **Psychologists**: Hold doctoral degrees (PhD or PsyD) and are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health issues through therapy, testing and behavioral interventions. We do not have psychologists on staff but can refer you if needed. - **Counselors**: Hold master's degrees in counseling or related fields and provide therapeutic support for issues like stress, anxiety, and depression. Our counselors offer empathetic, client-centered therapy to help you navigate life's challenges. At Alexander Counseling, we ensure you receive comprehensive support through our skilled counselors and referrals to psychiatrists and psychologists as needed.

We don't prescribe medication, but if you need it, we can refer you to a healthcare provider who can help.
