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 Gilbert, AZ 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 Gilbert 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?

Lacey and her father, Patrick, haven’t always gotten along. They have a lot in common, but they share different viewpoints on many things, too. Many of their issues started when Lacey decided to seek a career that her father didn’t approve of. As a result, they’ve butted heads for years now, and it’s starting to wear on both of them. But Lacey wants to improve their relationship, and she knows her father cares about her. 

After some thinking, Lacey wants to schedule a session with a psychologist: someone who can help them navigate the hurdles in their relationship and offer them new ways to connect. After Lacey suggested the idea, her father, Patrick, was hesitant. But he listened to his daughter and realized she had several good points: talking with a professional could help them to understand one another better. And now that they live in different cities, online therapy seems like a good choice. 

While your situation may not be identical to Lacey and Patrick’s, at Thriveworks in Gilbert, AZ we believe that anyone, regardless of their age or background, can benefit from talking with one of our psychologists. It’s normal to feel held back by outdated misconceptions and stigmas associated with seeking mental health services. But talking to one of our psychologists isn’t a sign of defeat or weakness—it’s a great way to prioritize your personal wellbeing. 

What Does a Psychologist Do?

A psychologist is a licensed mental health professional who can help diagnose and treat many different types of mental health conditions and disorders. Our psychologists help everyday people just like you with issues such as: 

  • Anxiety
  • Depression 
  • Difficulty processing a divorce or breakup 
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Relationship problems
  • Child or teen behavioral issues 
  • The loss of a friend or family member
  • Financial or work-related stress 

There’s no need to worry if you aren’t seeing your specific situation or problem being listed. These are just a few of the many different issues and conditions that our psychologists can assist you with. Our mental health professionals know that each client is different; by speaking openly and honestly with them, you can provide the feedback they need to help you identify your mental health needs and to start solving them.

How Can a Psychologist Help?

Psychologists may use talk or behavioral therapy during sessions to assist clients in working through the problems that are bothering them. Therapy can occur in person, or virtually—and it can also take place as one-on-one sessions, or group therapy. For those experiencing relationship, friendship, or family issues, group counseling with a psychologist at Thriveworks in Gilbert, AZ may be the best choice for assistance. With group therapy, a psychologist can offer you and your loved ones the opportunity to: 

  • Set and hold healthy boundaries in different scenarios
  • Resolve relationship or marital problems 
  • Build healthier family relationships
  • Improve emotional regulation (in anger management or grief counseling) 
  • Build on your communication skills
