Question by needhelpnow!: Therapist, psychologist, or social worker for relationship issues/stress?
I’m having serious relationship issues/stress. i may actually be facing early depression, but i just know that i need help and my gf probably too. I realize I should have seeked help sooner, but better late than never right?

my employer has employee assistance services and they have a huge database of resources who are all certified with degrees, etc. i narrowed my search to the closest thing, which was “marriage/family therapy” and was given a list of therapists, psychologists, and social workers who all specialize in this particular area among others.

is there any difference in how I will be treated if it’s a therapist, psychologist, or social worker? i was leaning towards psychologist, but i’m guessing it won’t really matter since i filtered my search…?
i’m not seeking a psychiatrist as i don’t feel that i need medication.

question: do psychologists work closely with psychiatrists in case it is determined that medication will be necessary?
