Phillip Freeman
Psychiatrist, MD, DMH

In my experience as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, I have attempted to help people struggling with emotional difficulties, compromised productivity, troubled relationships, and stunted creativity. Sometimes these difficulties yield to medications, advice, or short-term strategies. Sometimes they are the product of conflicts with a long history that result in frustrating repetitions that cost the patient time, pleasure, and fulfillment. Until these conflicts and feelings can be talked about they will show up as action and people will feel stuck and hopeless. Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis can break this logjam and free the individual to choose their own course.

FAQ - Marriage Counseling Psychiatrists
Do psychiatrists provide marriage counseling?
Yes, some psychiatrists provide marriage counseling, though this is not the primary focus for most psychiatrists. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental health and can offer psychotherapy, including couples therapy, in addition to prescribing medication. However, traditional marriage counseling is more commonly provided by licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), psychologists, or clinical social workers.

What is the difference between a marriage counselor and psychiatrist?
The main difference is medical training and prescribing ability. Psychiatrists have completed medical school and psychiatric residency training, which means that they can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, in addition to providing psychotherapy. In contrast, marriage counselors typically hold master's degrees in counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy and specialize in relationship dynamics and communication skills; they cannot prescribe medication.

Should I see a psychiatrist individually or go to marriage therapy?
This depends on whether your primary concern is individual mental health symptoms or relationship challenges. Individual psychiatry is appropriate when you are seeking treatment for your *own* mental health condition (such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD) and need medication management or psychiatric evaluation focused specifically on your symptoms and treatment plan. Marriage therapy with a psychiatrist is appropriate when relationship problems are the main concern and one or both partners have mental health conditions that impact the relationship. Many people may benefit from both individual psychiatric care for personal mental health management *and* separate couples therapy (with either a psychiatrist or marriage counselor) to address relationship dynamics. For example, one partner experiencing postpartum depression might work with a psychiatrist for evaluation and medication while both partners attend couples therapy to navigate new parenting challenges.
