Hello,

There are a lot of differences between a therapist and other mental health providers. A therapist operates under a broader umbrella and is trained and often licensed to provide a variety of treatments and services such as marriage counselling, social workers, life coaches, and other specialties as well.

This is generally what a therapist does:

  • Can include psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage counselors, life coaches and social workers
  • Can have any number of degrees in a variety of disciplines, including a master's degree, PhD, MD or certificate in fields such as social work, substance abuse, clinical psychology, psychiatry or family counseling
  • Help patients/clients make decisions and clarify feelings
  • Provide support and guidance
