The biggest difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist is that a psychiatrist is a medical doctor. All psychiatrists can prescribe medications, perform evaluations, and oversee psychiatric nurse practitioners. Some do psychotherapy. Bernard Kim, MD is a Board-certified psychiatrist who has extensive training in providing psychotherapy.

A psychologist has earned a Ph.D. and is also referred to as “doctor.” Some psychologists do research, others see patients clinically, for evaluation, psychological testing, and/or psychotherapy. Many people have a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree in Psychology. Only those with a Ph.D. level training are referred to as psychologists and can be licensed to run their own practice. Psychologists are rigorously trained and have high accreditation and continuing education standards.
