A psychiatrist will prescribe you meds but don't do therapy. If you'd rather just do therapy and learn techniques/skills to cope, then look for a therapist who has a specialized interest in ADHD. My son has ADD and saw a psychologist for a few years before we all (including him) agreed he needed meds in addition to the behavioral interventions. But she is a psychologist and left it up to us to make those decisions. There was no pressure which felt refreshing.
