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 Brookline, MA 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.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Brookline 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.

Please support transgender patients by supplying the option to give a preferred name that is used to address patients in communications. It's difficult for me to constantly receive messages addressing me by a name that I no longer use and that no longer aligns with my gender identity while I wait for the ability to legally change my name

I couldn't have found a better provider! It's amazing how well we work together and how much I look forward to my sessions because of this - It really does make a huge difference. Sarah is great and I really love how our discussions are a two way conversation with her providing input and challenging things I say to make me think about them in a different way. Thoroughly enjoying my experience and believe I am getting a lot out of it
