Psychiatrists are trained medical doctors who prescribe medications. As a course of treatment, psychiatrists spend much of their time with patients on medication management. On the other hand, Psychologists focus extensively on psychotherapy and treating mental and emotional suffering in patients with behavioral intervention.

Counsellor in field of psychology is commonly known as a counselling psychologist. counselling psychologists help people with issues related to mental, physical, and emotional health in order to resolve crisis, enhance their sense of well?being, and alleviate feelings of distress. They also provide assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of more severe psychological symptoms.

We recognize that many problems can be improved by re-doubling efforts and by turning to self-help approaches. Sometimes these efforts are not enough. Emotional and behavioral problems in a family member can be challenging and even overwhelming, and it’s hard to know who to trust for advice. Before embarking on any intervention, our staff will assist you with decisions about professional help by clarifying the nature of your presenting concerns and by providing you with information about what we know about the usefulness of treatment. Also, all clinical plans are developed in collaboration with our clients.

You’ll need to think about the best time of day and week to see your psychologist. Factors to consider include:

• Your best time of day. Whether you’re a morning person or a night owl, know when you’re at your best and schedule your appointment accordingly.

• Work. If you have to take time off from work, ask your human resources department if you can use sick leave for your psychotherapy sessions. You might also want to schedule your first appointment later in the day so you don’t have to go back to work afterward. If you have an upsetting topic to discuss, you may be tired, emotionally spent, puffy-eyed or distracted after your first session.

• Family responsibilities. Unless your children are participating in treatment, it’s usually not a good idea to bring them along. Choose a time when you will have child care available.

• Other commitments. A psychotherapy session typically lasts 45 to 50 minutes. Try to schedule your session at a time when you won’t have to rush to your next appointment afterward. Worrying about being late to your next commitment will distract you from your psychotherapy session.

Amitabh Psychology considers maintaining your privacy extremely important. It is a part of our professional code of ethics. 

To make your psychotherapy as effective as possible, you need to be open and honest about your most private thoughts and behaviors. That can be nerve-wracking, but you don’t have to worry about your psychologist sharing your secrets with anyone except in the most extreme situations.

Of course, you can always give your psychologist written permission to share all or part of your discussions with your physician, teachers or anyone else if you desire.

Amitabh Psychology takes confidentiality so seriously that we may not even acknowledge that we know you if we bump into you at the supermarket or anywhere else. And it’s OK for you to not say hello either. Your psychologist won’t feel bad; he or she will understand that you’re protecting your privacy.
