A doctor-psychotherapist is a specialist who focuses on mental health and provides psychotherapeutic treatment.

A psychotherapist is a trained mental health professional who helps people improve their emotional and psychological well-being using various types of therapy. Psychotherapists work with individuals, couples, families, and groups to identify and address mental health issues and promote mental wellness. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process that involves building a relationship between the therapist and the client, exploring thoughts and feelings, developing coping skills and strategies, and working towards personal growth and positive change. Psychotherapists use various therapeutic approaches and methods, such as talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and others, to help clients achieve their goals.

During the consultation, the doctor will assess the patient’s mental health issues, diagnose any mental health conditions, and recommend an appropriate treatment plan, which may include psychotherapy, medication, or a combination of both. The doctor-psychotherapist also provides support and guidance to help the patient manage symptoms, improve mental health and well-being, and prevent further mental health problems.

The consultation can take place either in person or remotely, using audio-video platforms.
