Thriveworks psychologists in New Orleans, LA 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.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks New Orleans 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.
Taking care of your mind is equally as important as getting help for physical injuries and diseases. A licensed psychologist is trained to identify, diagnose, and treat the problems that might be keeping you from feeling your best.

How Can I Benefit From Working With a Psychologist?
Working with a caring and licensed psychologist can help you understand your mental state and manage issues in your life. Psychologists can help you:
- Learn how to process everyday stressors
- Identify your environmental triggers
- Manage symptoms of anxiety or depression
- Reframe negative thought patterns
- Strengthen your relationships
- Advocate for your mental health needs
- Work through childhood or recent trauma
- Build healthy coping mechanisms for persistent problems
What Does Psychological Treatment Typically Involve?
Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, under excessive stress at work, living with unhealthy eating habits, or experiencing relationship issues, speaking with a trained psychologist can help.
Sessions are unique for every client, but there are some common things to expect:
- Talk therapy: A skilled psychologist knows how to create a comfortable and confidential environment so you can speak about your concerns, needs, and personal goals. Many types of talk therapy can help you identify issues in your life and build a plan to reduce their impact.
- Prescription medication: Psychologists can also advise you on the potential benefit of medication for treating any mental health issues. Some psychologists can prescribe medication in the state of Louisiana after completing a specific master’s degree program. However, most psychologists cannot prescribe medication. Instead, they’ll often work with a psychiatrist or other medical professional if medication would be helpful for your situation.
