I've seen all kinds of docs, and I would have to say that I have the most faith in psychiatrists who do therapy and are willing to take the time to talk to you and really get a feel for your problems. My worst experiences were with psychopharmacologists who did nothing but prescribe meds. One was primarily a researcher with an MD/PhD whom I saw for about 20 minutes once a month. He never really got to know me, and the time was too short for him to get a feel for med changes I needed. I felt kind of blown off, which made me feel more desperate. I even saw a therapist of his recommendation, but it wasn't the same as talking to him personally.
Now, I have nothing against and would even recommend getting a consult from a psychopharmacologist if you have a complicated situation with meds. I've just found that I've been able to develop a trusting relationship and feel more supported with psychiatrists who both prescribe and do therapy.
Good luck!
