I have found the same combo - a psychiatrist who prescribes the meds and a therapist to "talk" to. He gives me insight as well as different tools on how to cope. Fortunately, they are both in the same office building.
I had a therapist before who would just listen, too. I quit seeing him. And now I am going to the one I have now. I want to get some different ways to do things because what I was doing before in some things just wasn't working for me. (And unfortunately, those around me, too.)
This has been a journey for me, but I am learning as I go along. I am hoping that my experience might help someone else. In the process, my sister may get educated as well. If she doesn't, it is her loss.
It takes a lot of courage to admit that one has a problem and even that much more to take the meds and do the work to overcome it.
