psychiatric medications or medical physicians could be your general practitioner or a psychiatrist Betterhelp Staff
or a certified professional nurse who’s had specific training in psychiatric medications so those are the only 2 kinds of people who can prescribe medication the vast majority of psychotherapists do not prescribe medication because they do not hold those other degrees and where i live very really few psychiatrists also do treatment most psychiatrists concentrate on prescribing the medication and leave the treatment to the psychotherapists so that is not a valid criticism and then the second criticism that they don’t handle court orders i will tell you in my own private practice i really tried to avoid handling court orders and i will share with you why most of the time what would happen is i would get a phone call from somebody who would remain in a panic asking to have five sessions in a week because they had to go to court next week and they were trying to satisfy the requirement that they had received most likely five or six months back now i understand that this takes place i truly do but that’s not actually therapy that’s in fact doing something to satisfy a court order and it’s not the kind of work i ever did and probably for most court-ordered treatment there are community agencies that can offer that type of treatment in a more efficient way so i simply wished to address those 2 criticisms due to the fact that i do not feel they stand so prior to i show you this little trick on the site for better help in terms of having the ability to find somebody in your own location that you resonate with i wish to state 2 things one is that the fit between you and a therapist is very essential and the style of a therapist makes a huge distinction how comfortable you feel with them how safe you feel with them and you might go to someone who has a very costly rate at a private practice and still not enjoy with the therapist right i have actually had clients who’ve pertained to me after seeing somebody in my location where they were paying a high private practice rate and they come into my office and they ‘d state my prior therapist not did anything however speak about herself well that’s not suitable so if that happens to you either with a private practice or a neighborhood company or on better help change therapists and if a therapist ever does something egregious you can report it to the state licensing board so definitely the quality of the therapist differs no matter what their training or background and you have to discover somebody who’s a good fit for you and actually one of the
