For many, life can feel overwhelming, stressful and exhausting. Relationships with friends, spouses, parents and children can change over time, adding to feelings of stress and anxiety. Jobs, careers, education and even traumatic experiences can add to our frustration and fears.
Psychiatrists and therapists provide valuable support to patients. At, Hancock Counseling & Psychiatric Services, the highly-skilled psychiatrists and therapists help each patient grow by providing individual attention and personalized care plans. Each plan is customized to understand and support each patient’s unique needs.
Both psychiatrists and therapists specialize in the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of mental health, emotional and behavioral disorders. For some patients, therapists are an ideal support. For others, psychiatrists provide more appropriate treatments. Often, however, patients work with both professionals to receive experienced and compassionate support. Understanding the difference between a psychiatrist and therapist can help you navigate the best course of care for you and help you take your #FirstStepBack.
