Yes..and no: It might take more than one psychiatrist to find the right one. If at first you don't succeed seek out another.

Possibly: Yes, a psychiatrist with expertise in cognitive-behavioral therapy would likely be able to help you, as would a psychologist with these skills. Psychologists do not typically prescribe meds, psychiatrists do.
