Who is therapy for?
Therapy encompasses a range of treatments that help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Typically, therapy occurs one-on-one with a licensed mental health professional or with other patients in a group setting.(1)
In general, the goal of therapy is to achieve relief from symptoms, maintain or enhance daily functioning, and improve quality of life.(2)

The terms psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, and counselor refer to professionals in the field of mental health, but they differ in their education, training, scope of practice, and the types of services they provide.
The key differences are:
- Medical Training: Psychiatrists are medical doctors and can prescribe medication, while psychologists, therapists, and counselors cannot.
- Focus: Psychiatrists often focus on the biological and medical aspects of mental health, whereas psychologists, therapists, and counselors focus more on emotional and psychological aspects through various forms of talk therapy.
- Licensure and Education: Psychiatrists require a medical degree, psychologists require a doctoral degree, and therapists and counselors typically require a master’s degree in their field.
