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 Peoria, 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 Peoria 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.

Mental health issues are much more common than you might think. Millions of people suffer every year from diagnosable mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.

If you’re dealing with a mental illness or another issue in your life, there’s no shame in asking for support. Licensed psychologists are trained to help individuals, couples, and families work through their problems and recover from mental health issues. Depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses are highly treatable with the right guidance and treatment plan.

Our licensed psychologists look forward to helping you get your life back on track. If you’re ready to see what a psychologist can do for you, schedule an appointment at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.

Can I Benefit From Working With a Psychologist?

Some people who suffer from anxiety or depression are still able to go to work and maintain their relationships. But just because these people are high-functioning doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling to make it through the day. No matter the severity of your symptoms, a psychologist can offer unique insight and customize a treatment plan to help get you through difficult times.

Some of the most common reasons people visit a psychologist include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Major life transitions
  • Family issues
  • Relationship issues or divorce
  • Substance abuse and addiction
  • Loss of a loved one
  • PTSD or trauma
  • Career uncertainties
  • Eating disorders

If you think you’d benefit from the help of a mental health professional, consider reaching out to a licensed psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.

What Does Psychological Treatment Involve?

Talk therapy forms the basis of much of a psychologist’s work. By providing a safe and confidential space to voice thoughts and emotions, psychologists help their clients recognize how their thought patterns may be influencing their behaviors and emotions on a daily basis.

You may be repeating the same phrases in your head over and over but have simply become accustomed to it and don’t even notice anymore. Or, you may have developed a warped interpretation of events in your life that is impacting the way you feel or worsening your symptoms. If you tell yourself repeatedly that you will fail at something or that things will never get better, it is likely to affect the way you live your life.

Verbalizing these thoughts is often the first step towards healing and making healthy changes in your life. With the guidance of a licensed psychologist, you can learn to adjust your thought patterns and develop coping skills to improve your life. Clinical psychologists can also offer self-care tips for dealing with stressful situations, boosting your self-esteem, or managing anxiety. You may learn relaxation techniques, journaling and emotion-tracking activities, or meditation methods. As a result, clients often experience long-term benefits from psychology sessions, including a better understanding of themselves and improved communication skills.

I've enjoyed my time and experience with Paulina. She's professional, informative and engaging. She took the time to ask necessary questions to understand my situation and symptoms. Paulina prescribed medication that has helped me manage my symptoms and I'm extremely grateful. This medication has helped more than anything I've ever tried, and her support has allowed me to gain mental clarity and my self-confidence back. I HIGHLY recommend Paulina and am grateful for her time.

I've been a client at Thriveworks now for at least 6 months now and I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised. In this day and age where access to affordable Healthcare is a scarcity, Thriveworks has giving me some hope. Overall, Thriveworks has proven to be affordable and effective as well as reliable and responsive. My counselor Bridget has helped me open up and is teaching me coping skills and boundary setting and I feel as though I have already grown both mentally and emotionally in just these past 6 months. Bridget is reliable, a great listener and gives honest, insightful feedback along with healthy suggestions on how I might handkerchief things better the next time. Since being a patient of Bridget, I often now stop myself from my old unhealthy ways of doing things, taking a moment to reflect on what I'm learning from her and then move forward in a more positive healthy way with whatever issue I was struggling with. As for my therapist Paulina, she too had proven to me that she is listening, genuinely cares and wants to help me. As a former pharmacy tech and now a licensed nurse, it is apparent to me that Paulina is very knowledgeable when it comes to prescribing meds and puts effort and thought into helping her patients. Since being a client of Paulina, I now finally have my anxiety under control. I finally feel relief! Finding relief from my anxiety is something I have found to be a major challenge for many years with previous psych drs. I'm grateful I have found both Bridget and Paulina!
