Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication and provide a range of therapies. A psychologist typically provides psychotherapy (talk therapy) and cannot prescribe medication. At our clinic, we offer a collaborative approach.
Is everything I say confidential?
Yes, patient confidentiality is our utmost priority. Everything you discuss with our specialists is kept in the strictest confidence, in line with medical ethics.
How do I know if I need to see a psychiatrist?
If you are experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, mood swings, changes in sleep or appetite, or thoughts that interfere with your daily life, it may be beneficial to seek a professional evaluation. You don't have to be in a crisis to seek help.
