Let's start the
conversation

Psychologists and Psychiatrists both play crucial roles in mental health care, but Psychologists typically focus on therapy and behavioural interventions, while Psychiatrists can prescribe medications and have a more medical approach.

Psychologists can conduct psychological assessments, and use evidence-based practices to help clients manage and overcome mental health issues. They use various therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and more.

At Oqea Cares, the two professions collaborate to provide comprehensive mental health care.

Online sessions are with our psychologists and psychiatrists can be available by phone or video through Telehealth on our Oqea platform. We’ll  schedule a consult with you and send you a link with you once arranged.
