Today, we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. A man who spoke powerfully, and eloquently and acted with great courage to do what he knew was right. He knew different, was not evil, but something to be embraced and celebrated. There is power and healing in inclusion.

"Let us be dissatisfied until integration is not seen as a problem but as an opportunity to participate in the beauty of diversity."

— during a speech at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference on Aug. 16, 1967, in Atlanta, Ga.

Many clients have asked me what the difference is between a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), psychologist, and psychiatrist. It can be confusing as some of the services we offer can overlap. Below are descriptions of each and how they differ.

Psychiatrist: A medical doctor who specializes in mental health. Think of them like a cardiologist, or OBGYN. Each becomes a medical doctor, then takes additional education and training to specialize in a specific area, like the heart or women's health. Psychiatrists typically do not provide counseling but focus on prescribing medication and monitoring its effectiveness and side effects. Their credentials are either MD or OD.

Psychologists: Like psychiatrists, psychologists are required to participate in additional education and training for several years. Psychologists tend to focus on evaluation and assessments to determine proper diagnosis. Some psychologists do psychotherapy or mental health counseling. Unlike Psychiatrists, psychologists cannot prescribe medications. Psychologists often work with psychiatrists to collaborate on helping their clients get what they need to improve their quality of life. Psychologists have a doctoral degree, not a medical degree. Their credentials are typically Ph. D.

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Master of Social Work (MSW): LPCs and MSWs have a bachelor's degree and 2 years of additional training. After they graduate, they work under the supervision of a fully licensed professional. LPCs and MSWs provide counseling to clients. Unlike psychologists and psychiatrists, their educational requirements are less. LPCS and MSWS will collaborate or refer clients to a psychologist or psychiatrist if they feel their client needs a higher level of care or additional services outside their experience and education level. Their credentials are typically LPC or MSW.

All three specialties are required to take continuing education and abide by a code of ethics. Services are typically paid by insurance, but benefits vary by plan and whether your provider is in-network with your insurance carrier. You can find out what providers are in-network in your area, or what benefits are available to you by calling your insurance company. They typically have a customer service number on the back of the insurance card.

Some insurance or providers require a referral from your primary care doctor before you can obtain services. Speaking with your P*P is a great place to start and help direct you to the right kind of provider.

I now have a website, and yes I did it all by myself. So I am sure you will find mistakes. Even though I've been working on it and used all the tools to find and correct mistakes. I can proof other's peoples work, but not my own. It's like finding the flaws in other people but not seeing your own. I guess it's part of being human.

I periodically establish a walking routine where I am able to go for a walk multiple times per week for at least 30 minutes. I notice when I go this my mood improves and my ability to handle stress improves. My husband who works an opposite shift then my work schedule doesn’t know whether I’ve gone for a walk or not, unless I tell him—or at least I thought. Eventually, I get out of the routine of walking and miss a couple days. I notice the difference almost immediately, but didn’t think it showed to anyone else. Until one day my husband turns to me and asks if I’ve stopped walking. Why? I ask “Because” he says with a sigh “you are stressed”. Small changes can have big impacts on how we feel and strongly impact our view of what is happening around us.
