A psychologist has a doctoral degree (Ph.D., Psy.D., or Ed.D.) in psychology. After graduate school, they complete a multi-year internship. They do not have medical degrees. So, although they can treat mental health disorders, they cannot perform medical procedures or prescribe medications. As a result, they typically work with a psychiatrist or other medical doctor.

We are wired for relationship. What we feel and believe at a gut level is in large part because of connections made in our brains and bodies through relational experiences. Our attachments are vital to how we learn and are soothed, feel safe and explore, and grow and change throughout our lives. This is also why many of the wounds we try to heal were so often formed in earlier relationships. So...
