At Midwest Psychiatrists, we recognize that each individual’s mental health journey is unique. Our team of mental health professionals offers specialized care in a range of areas, including:
- Anxiety Disorders: Our team provides evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication management. We work closely with patients to develop strategies that reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being.

Understanding the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist can help you make informed decisions about your mental health care. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD) who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health and emotional disorders through psychiatric services. They are trained to evaluate both the physical and mental aspects of psychological problems and can prescribe medications to help manage symptoms. Psychiatrists often work in hospitals, clinics, or private practices, providing comprehensive care that may include medication management and talk therapy.
On the other hand, a psychologist holds a doctoral degree in psychology (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) and focuses on evaluating and treating mental and emotional disorders through non-medical interventions. These interventions include psychotherapy, counseling, and behavioral modification. While psychologists cannot prescribe medications, they often collaborate with psychiatrists to provide a holistic approach to mental health treatment. This collaboration ensures that patients receive the most effective and comprehensive care possible.
At Midwest Psychiatrists, we recognize the importance of collaboration between psychiatrists and psychologists in providing comprehensive mental health care. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health disorders through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations. They are qualified to prescribe medication and provide talk therapy. Psychologists, on the other hand, are mental health professionals who specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions through non-medical interventions, such as talk therapy and counseling. Our team of Chicago psychiatrists and psychologists work together to provide a holistic approach to mental health care, addressing the complex needs of each individual we serve.
