Does a person have to see a phd psychologist for help with anxiety or can a psychotherapist do the same job for someone? d.ed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Licensed psych-: ologists (PhD, EdD, or PsyD) are trained and licensed to diagnose and treat mental illness and other psychological disordeers. Psychotherapist is a broad term for trained professionals who do therapy. Their scope of practice is more narrow unless they are also licensed as a clinical or counseling psychologist. The main ingredient for progress is your relationship w/the therapist. Peace & health
