Yeah, Dexter is right regarding psychiatrists: few offer counseling anymore, they only write prescriptions for medications.

A therapist is the term we use here to refer to anyone giving us counseling, usually for a fee hehehehe Since we all aren't in the USA, the term varies widely.

My therapist (T) is a clinical psychologist who specializes in Pain and Stress Management.

Sometimes we refer to a T, even if that person is "only" a minister who is counseling someone. But it could also be someone at a special clinic, like a social worker, or even a nurse specializing in counseling arts.

So I guess a T is any professional who talks with us, and lets us talk with them, in effort to help us feel and live better.

Does this help?
