Very few psychiatrists treat patients today. They dole out medications -- psychiatric medications have become so diverse, so toxic that it is all a psychiatrist can do to get the meds right. If you need an evaluation, your best bet is a neuropsychologist. For therapy, behavior modification, etc., you see a therapist, counselor or psychologist (yes, they're all different).
