If you or your spouse or your child is dealing with anxiety or depression, it is time to get help. If you wait, you might be sorry that a small problem has become big issue. But where can you get help?
You could seek the help you need from the following professionals:
Psychiatrists are MD's (medical doctors) that have not only completed a medical certificate, but also extra training in psychology. They are the only therapists licensed to prescribe medications for psychological disorders. If your psychologist decides that therapy alone will not work for you, he/she will likely refer you to a psychiatrist.
A Psychologist is an individual who has graduated from graduate school with a master's degree or doctorate in psychology. All psychologists must be licensed by the College of Psychologists to practice in NB. He/she will have Licensed Psychologist or L. Psych. after his/her name. A psychologist is well trained to provide help for anxiety, stress, depression and many other conditions. Psychologists are covered by almost all health insurance plans.
Social Workers have completed university and graduate school education with a bachelor's degree or master's degree in social work. The province of NB registers all social workers. You can tell a social worker by their title: he/she will have Registered Social Worker or something like MSW after his/her name. A social worker can provide therapy only. Most social workers are not covered on medical health insurance plans.
Counselors are the least regulated of all the therapists. They may or may not have a graduate degree or bachelors degree. Although many counsellors belong to the CCC or Canadian Counseling Association, there is no legislative body in New Brunswick. It is best to ask the individual counsellor about his/her education and experience. Because of the lack of regulation, most employment health insurance plans do not cover counselors and their costs.
A psychologist is likely the best choice of therapists when dealing with stress or anxiety. The main reason is that psychologists are trained to use therapies like Cognitive Behavior Therapy or Play Therapy (if you are a child) to help you on your journey to becoming anxiety free.
But how do you find a psychologist in NB?
In the past you would need to consult with a doctor or hospital emergency department to find a suitable psychologist. You would make a doctor's visit or visit a local ER. This would still work but is a very inconvenient method of finding someone qualified to help you.
There are a few good methods in 2012. Look in the yellow pages of the phone book or the white pages of the phone book. There will be less psychologists listed in the yellow pages as it can be quite expensive.
The younger/newer therapists are turning toward the internet to promote their business. This is good news for you as a potential client as finding your psychologist might be as easy as searching in Google. Go to Google or your favorite search engine and search for the following:
Psychologists in NB
