Treatment With a Psychologist FAQs

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 Germantown, MD 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 Germantown 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.

The tools my therapist provides after my sessions to help me improve my mental and emotional health.

★★★★★
I’ve worked with 2 therapists from Thriveworks, and both have had different styles and approaches. Both, however, have been very professional while still allowing me to feel heard and honest, so that I am able to make the growth that I’m looking for. I am very impressed with this practice, and will continue to utilize it for my therapy needs.

Janay is very organized and recaps our calls weeks over week. She is very patient and helps me get through my emotions and my week. She is amazing and I have felt so much better from her counseling meeting and listening to me week over a week.

I liked having guiding questions to help bring up issues and get conversation going, it can be a little overwhelming trying to find a starting point when there is so much to unpack.
