    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.
