each USA state, different countries, locations and what have you have their own rules that constitutes what a psychiatrist and psychologist is and what they need to complete their respective degrees, and also have their own things each can do with their clients.

around here a there is very little difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist. Both Psychologists and Psychiatrists here are able to see see clients for therapy, meds management, referral and can administer psychological/psychiatric evaluations.

The only difference between the two here is that the psychologists in the area had to go through internship, this is where psychologists do hands on work with clients under the supervision,

Psychiatrists here are not required to go through internship under a supervisor. they are able to directly from their graduating college degrees to practicing without any supervision.

some very in their therapeutic approach. one psychiatrist I know uses hypnosis with their clients another does not, psychiatrist that I know uses Cognative Behavioral therapy with his clients and other psychiatrists do not, and it works the same way with psychologists, some use CBT, some dont some use DBT some dont, some use hypnosis and some dont.

my suggestion call psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health agencies in your area, tell them what you need and ask if they have people that work with your problems. Then go in and meet some of them, then choose the one you are most comfortable with.
