I've seen many more psychologists than psychiatrists. It is often a very long wait to get an appointment with a psychiatrist. But with a psychologist, under the advisement of a psychiatrist, they can give you therapy sessions, and when ready, direct you to their supervisor for medication if necessary. I personally have not taken any medication, thinking the same thing -- that I would rather have gotten better on my own, and dislike being under the influence, also worring about side effects and dependency.
