For those experiencing a difficult life situation, you want relief to come soon, not after weeks of leaving voicemails and hoping that one of the long lists of clinicians you’ve called has available appointments and can accept your insurance provider.
Thriveworks was founded to bring accessible, high-quality care to your counseling or psychiatry experience. We want to make sure that you experience the transformative benefits of mental health help as soon as possible. We’ll get you scheduled with a provider right away; new clients often meet with their therapist or psychiatrist within a week of scheduling. To get started, call Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Austin today or schedule online.
What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Austin, we offer:
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.
