Hi,Thank you for your question. Some psychiatrists may do couples therapy, but probably more mental health professionals practice couples therapy, such as a clinician with the following licenses: PhD, PsyD, LMFT, LPCC, LCSW.I hope this information has been helpful!
Generally no. I've never heard of one doing couples work. Generally they prescribe and follow up with meds.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. Psychiatrists are medical professionals that specialize in prescribing medications for mental health illnesses. They typically do not conduct therapy with clients.

Some do. Just ask!
Couples can benefit from therapy by Improving communication skills between two people. Discovering the root causes of major points of conflicts.
Usually, you would see a therapist, specifically an LMFT, for marital counseling.
No psychiatrists are doctors who prescribe medication...you will need to see a psychologist or a psychotherapist.
