Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Clinical Psychology care with Dr. Cooper:
- What is the main difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?
- A psychologist (PhD or PsyD) specializes in psychotherapy and psychological testing, while a psychiatrist (MD or DO) is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. They often collaborate, with the psychologist providing therapy and the psychiatrist managing medication.
- What happens in a first therapy session?
- The first session is an intake to learn about your concerns, history, and goals. It's also a chance to connect and see if Dr. Cooper is a good fit for you. This is a conversation, not an interrogation, and we'll work together to determine the best way forward.
- My primary doctor suggested I might have anxiety. Can a psychologist confirm this?

- What is psychological testing used for?
- Psychological testing uses a series of standardized tests and interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

- EMDR is a specialized therapy that helps people heal from trauma and difficult experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, to help the brain process traumatic memories and lessen their emotional impact.
