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 Chapel Hill, NC 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 Chapel Hill 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.

Need more help deciding?

The psychologists at Thriveworks Counseling in Chapel Hill, NC will do everything they can to make you feel comfortable as you open up about your mental health challenges—whether it’s a mental health condition, a conflict with a loved one, stress, a personal or professional development issue, or something else entirely. Whatever it is, our professionals are here and eager to help you through it. To schedule an appointment, give us a call or book online to get started.

How Can a Psychologist Benefit My Life?

Our psychologists are uniquely qualified to help their clients with many different challenges, thanks to their skills, training, experience, and dedication. As we mentioned above, these challenges might be rooted in a mental health condition, a conflict with a loved one, stress, a personal or professional development issue, or something else that we’ve yet to touch on! Here is a bit more info about these challenges and how a psychologist at our office could help:

  1. Mental health conditions: If you have a mental illness, you will likely need to work with a mental health professional in some capacity. Our psychologists can help you understand why you might have developed the given illness, as well as better cope with the harmful symptoms that come with it. Perhaps most importantly, they can help you better manage the illness as a whole.
  2. Conflict with a loved one: Sometimes, we get into fights with our loved ones that prove to throw off the balance of the relationship. These fights include those with our significant others, our parents, our children, our siblings, our friends. Whatever it is and whoever it’s with, the psychologists at Thriveworks Chapel Hill can prove helpful. They’ll help you discuss the problem at hand effectively and take the steps necessary to get your relationship back on the right path.
  3. Stress: Another common and serious problem is stress. While we all experience stress on some level, sometimes it gets out of control and it can prove harmful to our lives. This goes for our personal and professional lives. If you are suffering due to an overwhelming level of stress, the psychologists at Thriveworks Chapel Hill can offer valuable stress management techniques.
  4. Personal or professional development issues: Psychologists can also help us work through personal and professional development issues. For example, if you are considering different career paths or a job change, they can talk through your options with you and help you come to the right decision for you. They can help you figure out the best way to grow personally, too!

This list offers but a glimpse of the many ways that the psychologists at Thriveworks Counseling in Chapel Hill can help. They’ll look at your unique challenges and then put together a treatment plan specifically for you.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

Krystal made my first session very comfortable and welcoming. Her goal is to get the best version of yourself she can. I can’t thank her enough for saving my life when I didn’t even know how desperate I was to be saved. HIGHLY recommend her services.

My Therapist Sara M. is an amazing Therapist. She is an excellent listener, coach, and is very attentive to the needs of the patient. I was able to connect with her in ways that I have not been able to connect with prior therapist. I am truly grateful to have found Thrivewoks and their referral to Sara M.
