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 Gainesville, FL 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 Gainesville 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?

You might be looking to confide in a psychologist for assistance with your mental health needs. At Thriveworks in Gainesville, FL we have psychologists who are ready to partner with you, helping you prioritize your emotional wellbeing and offering you personalized coping strategies. Reach out today to get started.

How Can a Psychologist Assist Me?

Psychologists are highly trained mental health professionals; they often hold advanced degrees that make them expert providers and empathizers. Though everyone’s mental health needs can vary, our team of psychologists can help a wide array of people with situations or conditions such as: 

  • Major life transitions such as marriage, divorce, death, or financial issues 
  • Anger management 
  • Family or relationship problems
  • Grief and loss
  • ADHD 
  • Anxiety 
  • Depression 
  • And many other problems 

Psychologists can help with a lot—but it’s important to talk candidly with them so that they can fully understand your situation and how they can better assist you. When you decide to open up to a Thriveworks counselor in Gainesville, FL you can trust that your needs are being met by the industry’s best. 

Should I Talk with a Psychologist Virtually?  

Many of our psychologists are available virtually through our online therapy and counseling services. Connect with your psychologist from home, the office, or while traveling to make the most out of your sessions, regardless of your schedule. With virtual therapy and counseling from Thriveworks, it’s easier than ever to put your mental health needs first.

Online counseling might be appealing if you: 

  • Travel or work often
  • Have mobility or chronic health concerns that limit mobility
  • Are anxious about speaking with a psychologist in person
  • Would like to avoid commuting to a brick-and-mortar office
  • Frequently take care of elderly family members or watch after kids 

We’ve made talking with one of our psychologists even easier with online counseling. Now, you can attend virtual sessions anywhere with reliable internet and somewhere private to talk.

I always feel very seen and heard with Vanessa Cumber. She is such a talent in this field! She is just great to talk to. She is validating and uplifting. She gives me so much hope and belief in myself.. She is extremely knowledgeable about the brain, and I've learned so much about why I get anxious, and she teaches me tools to cope. . Vanessa is also great with words. She knows how to describe any issue I'm grappling with, so I can see it more clearly.. Vanessa is a blessing! I am very grateful for her!

I do not wish to receive surveys after every session. I have an excellent therapist, Ginger, who is giving me hope I can kick this depression. I haven't had this type of hope from anyone for almost 20 years.

Ginger immediately made me comfortable and showed empathy for my situation. I have lost hope in therapy as I have felt very discouraged with previous therapist I have seen. Ginger gave me hope and put me at ease day one. Day one was just the assessment but in the short time we had together she took the time to briefly explain and educate me on my situation and previous traumas, also reassuring me that we would dive deeply into each topic. She also suggested a book which I have already dove into and it has helped bring a lot of understanding to my confusion. I feel excited to have found her. I appreciate her vulnerability and compassion. I feel safe expressing myself and not judged. I am looking forward to my journey of healing and clarity I have been seeking for years. Thank you so much Ginger!
