its therapy for psychos.. duh
Think of it as “talk therapy”. If you see an MD he can provide meds if he thinks it’s necessary, but there are other types of therapy he can do (behavioral) depending on your problem
This is just someone who will talk to you, and try to figure out what would be best for you, and how they can help you. It is simply therapy with a psychologist. I believe that the main difference is that a licensed psychotherapist has the ability to prescribe medication if needed. It is nothing to worry about, or be ashamed of.

Sexual Orientation versus Age of Onset as Bases for Typologies (Subtypes) for Gender Identity Disorder in Adolescents and Adults
employ either sexual orientation or age of onset of GID-related symptoms as bases for categorization. This review compares
these two typological approaches, with the goal of determining which one should be employed for the diagnosis of GID in Adolescents
or Adults (or its successor diagnosis) in the forthcoming revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Typologies based on sexual orientation and age of onset of GID-related symptoms are roughly comparable in ease and
reliability of subtype assignment. Typologies based on sexual orientation, however, employ subtypes that are less ambiguous
and better suited to objective confirmation and that offer more concise, comprehensive clinical description. Typologies based
on sexual orientation are also superior in their ability to predict treatment-related outcomes and comorbid psychopathology
and to facilitate research. Commonly expressed objections to typologies based on sexual orientation are unpersuasive when
examined closely. The DSM should continue to employ subtypes based on sexual orientation for the diagnosis of GID in Adolescents
or Adults or its successor diagnosis.
