Their extensive experience in treating mental and behavioral health conditions is crucial for comprehensive patient care. Therapists, proficient in counseling and various talk therapy methods, frequently collaborate with psychiatrists to ensure complete care.

While psychologists at Geode Health often hold doctorate degrees and specialize in talk therapy for treating mental health conditions, they are not medical doctors. Their focus is on non-pharmacological methods, including counseling, for conditions like anxiety and depression. Psychiatrists, however, are medical doctors with the capability to prescribe medication for mental disorders such as bipolar disorder. They also offer talk therapy and other supplementary therapies, providing a comprehensive approach to mental health treatment.
