Thriveworks psychologists in Jacksonville, 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.
What Exactly Do Psychologists Do?
Psychologists are mental health professionals with the education, training, and experience to provide people with a range of services, including psychotherapy and psychological testing. Their main goal is to help their clients address the problems they are confronted with, be it a mental health issue or another major life challenge. Let’s delve into each:
- Mental health issues: Mental illnesses or mental health conditions are common: in fact, the National Institute of Mental Health reports that 1 in 5 US adults struggle with a mental illness. These include depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, and others. Fortunately, if you are suffering with a mental illness, a psychologist can provide you with psychological testing and assessment to determine a diagnosis. Additionally, they can provide you with treatment to address your illness and its symptoms. This often involves talk therapy!
- Other major life challenges: Mental illness isn’t the only challenge we might encounter in life. There are other challenges too, including relationship issues (e.g., jealousy, trust issues, abuse, financial strain, etc.), feelings of worthlessness, low self-esteem, stress, anger issues, and so on. Again, a psychologist can provide you with treatment that will help you manage your specific issue.
If you’re facing a mental health issue or another major life challenge that’s taking a toll on your mental health, consider meeting with a psychologist at Thriveworks Jacksonville, FL. In addition to offering a diagnosis in the case of a mental illness, they can help you better understand why you might be experiencing the given problem and how to manage it.
