Starting Treatment With a Psychologist

What are psychologists?

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.

How do psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Atlanta, GA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.

Can I see a psychologist in person or online?

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Atlanta is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

Should I Work with a Psychologist?

The psychologists at Thriveworks Atlanta understand that everybody has their own struggles. And that these struggles—while they might look similar to someone else’s struggles—are specific to the individual. Therefore, each and every person needs personalized help. Our psychologists are ready to offer that personalized help in the form of an individualized treatment plan. To do this, they will get to know you and the problem you are currently working through, such as:

  • Depression, anxiety, or another mental health issue
  • Relationship issues, like jealousy, trust, or miscommunication
  • Grief and loss
  • Addiction, substance abuse
  • Stress management
  • Self-esteem help
  • Anger management
  • Parenting dilemmas
  • Major life changes
  • Financial strain

This list only begins to scratch the surface of all of the challenges that our psychologists help their clients work through. If you are currently trying to work through one of these problems (or another problem that did not make the list), consider partnering up with a psychologist at Thriveworks Atlanta. As we mentioned above, they will develop an individualized treatment plan just for you.

How Can a Psychologist Help?

To address their client’s unique needs, the psychologists at Thriveworks Atlanta can provide (and pull from) different services including various approaches to therapy. The mental health services offered at Thriveworks Atlanta include:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Couples therapy
  • Depression therapy

Their approach to treatment will depend on your specific challenges and needs. For example, if you present relationship issues, such as jealousy or a lack of trust with your significant other, your psychologist will pull techniques from couples therapy to best help you and your partner.

Overall, the experience has been good but my nurse practitioner forgot to refill my medication prescription before Christmas and now I’m out, waiting for everyone to get back from the holidays. I understand mistakes happen, but it super important to not forget to refill patient medications … that is something I don’t think deserves a lot of wiggle room for mistakes because it so fundamental to this profession.
