Psychiatry vs therapy — what’s the difference?

Psychiatry focuses on diagnosis + medication  (including medication management) — Psychiatrists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners are medical specialists who can diagnose and treat mental illnesses. They can also prescribe and manage medications.

Therapy focuses on talk + behavior change — Therapy in Illinois can help you work through stress, anxiety, and life changes with a licensed therapist over time.

Best results often come from both — A lot of people benefit from both psychiatry (medication) and therapy to get the best results.

Not sure which service you need? You can register for psychiatry, therapy, or both, and a clinical intake specialist will assist you in finding the right Illinois provider.

For a while, I didn't think I would find a place where my mental health would be taken seriously. Thankfully, I was referred to Mindful Care. I'm very happy with my treatment & the approach my provider has to help me with my needs. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Christopher D.

My provider is pleasant, respectful and shows concern. I am very happy with her treatment and medication management. I have had trust issues with other providers through different platforms but with my provider, I feel comfortable and relaxed to be open about my mental health and trust her diagnosis and recommendations. With out her help, I would have gone untreated.

Evelyn C.

My therapist is great. She's so intuitive and she understands me very well. She calls things about me that hit it right on the nose. I'm glad to have her. Most people think therapists are enablers but not her. You have to be honest and be comfortable with being vulnerable with her and she can help you. I recommend her to anyone who's really looking to change their life.
