Should I see a psychologist or therapist?!

Question

Hello guys! 
So I called my healthcare provider to get a list of practices covered by my insurance. They asked if I wanted to see a therapist or a psychologist. I told them I’d call them back later and let them know. I don’t know what the difference is or who to chose. I’ve had a really hard childhood and worked through what I think was PTSD. I have a lot of depression and anxiety and just mood issues in general. I just need help. Which one would you choose to see?

Answer

It depends. 
Every psychologist is usually a therapist, but not every therapist is a psychologist. 
I’m a psychologist and I specialize is severe mental health. I’m more trained to diagnose and assess, and often do testing for personality function, learning disability, and other things. 
A psychologist is usually more expensive. 
But even me, I see a therapist. If what you need is to talk to someone empathic that’s a therapist familiar with your concerns is great. If you need a little more specialized expertise, you may need a psychologist. 
Both can address your needs. Itsprobably more about feeling comfortable with  that person.

Answer

A psychologist is a therapist but a psychiatrist is a therapist that can prescribe medication and diagnose.

Answer

If you feel you want to better your life than a therapist a physiologist studies more so things like asthma and organ diseases or long term illnesses if you feel you want help mentally to improve you’ll want a therapist
