Not sure if you mean psychiatrist or psychologist. Psychiatrist does meds. Psychologist does counseling.

Either of them need to be willing to listen to you to help

But you also need to be willing to listen and act upon tje psychologists advice in order to help.

Psychiatrists tho must listen to you and you must be honest with them about how you feel n your symptoms or they can give you meds that either do not work or harm you.
