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.
Thriveworks psychologists in Cedar Rapids, IA 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.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Cedar Rapids 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.
Whether you’re struggling with mood swings, anxiety, depression, or something else entirely, our clinical psychologists are ready to help you build a better life. Reach out to schedule an appointment at Thriveworks in Cedar Rapids, IA today by calling (319) 220-5493.

How Can a Psychologist Help?
A licensed psychologist at Thriveworks may use one or more forms of talk therapy to help you work through your struggles. Some examples of this could include:

- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on challenging and reframing harmful thought processes to make behavioral changes and mitigate symptoms.
- Art therapy: Art therapy uses art and creativity to help people relieve stress and identify underlying issues.
