Doing The Work from Naples Integrated Recovery

Oct. 1, 2026

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Therapist vs psychologist vs psychiatrist can get confusing quickly, especially when your mental health problems feel serious. The highest credential does not automatically mean the deepest expertise in addiction, trauma, couples therapy, OCD, ADHD, autism, or whatever problem brought you to treatment.

Addiction, trauma, couples therapy, ADHD and autism assessment, and medication management all require different kinds of expertise. A clinician can be highly trained and still have limited experience in the area you actually need help with. This episode also looks at therapist fit, professional limits, and why claiming expertise in nearly everything should raise questions.
