One is to recognize your symptoms and the other is wanting to do something about it. A psychiatrist generally prescribes psychotropic medication but sometimes offers psychotherapy as well. You might want to start looking at psychology schools to find a low fee psychotherapist. CIIS and John F. Kennedy are some of the schools here in the Bay Area that have great Counseling Centers where supervised psychology students offer psychotherapy for a minimal fee. There are also other low fee centers that you can google online. Additionally, many therapists take a certain percentage of sliding scale clients as well and you can find out by calling them. However, try to go to someone who specializes in trauma and was trained as a somatic experiencing practitioner (http://www.traumahealing.com) and/or EMDR. Reading a few books as you go through therapy will speed up your healing as well. Let me know if you have any more questions. Warmly, Dr. Susanne Babbel Hello,
