Session times in your time zone
The US has several time zones, from the East Coast to the West. Times are shown in the time zone you choose, and you can change it when you book.
Many therapists live in the Middle East, so because of the time difference you may find morning times that suit you before work.
Psychologist or psychiatrist?
A psychologist or therapist helps through talk therapy: understanding what you feel and learning practical ways to cope. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can also assess whether medication may help.
If you're not sure, start with a psychologist. They will tell you if seeing a psychiatrist would help.
