Psychiatry/medication FAQs

Does Thriveworks offer psychiatric services?

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.

How does psychiatry work?

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Colorado, CO specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

What is the difference between a mental health therapist & psychiatrist?

A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.

What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

How do psychiatric providers diagnose?

Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.

Can I receive psychiatric services online?

Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.

How long does psychiatry last?

Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Colorado can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.

Is anxiety treated with psychiatry?

Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

Does Thriveworks accept insurance for psychiatric services?

Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.

I appreciate Pierre's thoughtfulness and kindness as we go through our sessions. He is always prepared for the curves and sliders I throw his way, and when there are none, he is very capable of directing the conversation to help me keep toy goals with this therapy. I am ecstatic that Pierre is my therapist.

Megan Learned is incredible to work with. I’ve been to about 10 therapists and psychiatrists over the past 25 years, and none have come close to Megan. It’s her mix of expertise, intelligence, empathy, professionalism, honesty, and humor that is such a good fit for me. She reads my body language and listens to what I say before she responds, asks follow-up questions, makes recommendations, and “assigns” “homework” (and I love homework, so it’s great for me). She is flexible in that she observes what’s going on with me and adapts to what I need to discuss (rather than being stuck on what we may have planned to talk about in the previous session). Although therapy is hard work, she helps break down concepts and tasks into small, manageable chunks so that it doesn’t feel so daunting. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to work with Megan. I also appreciate how easy Thriveworks makes it to be a patient. You all have a great portal with an easily accessible and intuitive user interface. You all also work great with my insurance.
