Both psychiatrists and psychologists are trained to help people with mental health challenges, but there are important differences between the two:

• Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD or DO). They have completed medical school and specialize in mental health. Because they are physicians, psychiatrists can prescribe medications, manage complex psychiatric conditions, and often focus on the biological and medical aspects of mental health treatment.

• Psychologists hold doctoral degrees in psychology (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) and are experts in human behavior, emotions, and mental processes. They are trained to diagnose and treat emotional and psychological disorders through psychotherapy ("talk therapy"), psychological testing, behavioral interventions, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In most states, psychologists do not prescribe medications (though some states allow it with additional training).

In short:

• Psychiatrists = medical doctors who focus on medication management and biological treatments.

• Psychologists = doctoral-level clinicians who focus on therapy, assessment, and behavior change.

Often, psychiatrists and psychologists work together to provide comprehensive care, combining medication and therapy to best support the patient's needs.

Traditional insurance plans often cover psychotherapy services when they are provided in an office setting and meet specific billing and documentation requirements. 

Innergy Wellness offers both in-office psychotherapy and concierge-style services. In-office psychotherapy services are covered under specific insurance plans; please see the RATES section at the top of this webpage for additional information. Concierge services, which are provided in the comfort of your home or another location of your choosing, are not covered by insurance, as they fall outside of the traditional office-based model and are offered as private pay services.
