Let’s rephrase the question. What is common between psychotherapists, psychologist and psychiatrist? The answer is the act of psychotherapy - regularly ongoing talk therapy.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors, they can prescribe medication, diagnose and monitor mental illnesses.
Clinical Psychologists assess and diagnose mental conditions, they hold Masters or PhD in Psychology, and many provide regular ongoing talk therapy treatments.
Psychotherapists can assess for mental conditional but cannot communicate the diagnosis or prescribe medication. Psychotherapists, alike social workers and counsellors, are mainly concerned with providing regular ongoing talk therapy and other therapeutic treatments.
A referral from a medical doctor is not required in order to start counselling, however, if there is a diagnosable condition, or a suspected diagnosable condition, it is strongly recommended that a diagnosis is conferred by a C. Psych, or MD in order to start psychotherapeutic treatment in a responsible manner. It is also advised that you are in active care of a medical or a naturopathic doctor while in therapy with me if you are taking medication.
I strongly believe in the circle of care. I encourage collaboration among health care professionals who are actively caring for a patient. What is required for that is your written permission, by a filling out a form, to allow me to speak and coordinate treatment with your doctor, naturopath, coach, chiropractor, yoga instructor, RMT, spiritual guide or whoever is actively engaged in the care of your wellbeing.

In also involves breath work, and meditative practices such as centering and grounding. Read more here >>
