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 , DE 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 Psychiatric 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 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.

Joel Cutter is very good at listening and he balances validating my feelings with appropriately challenging and pushing back when he feels it necessary. He has been incredibly helpful in naming some of the issues that I am dealing with, which has been empowering.

I love and appreciate the flexibility between virtual and in person, as well as the ease of scheduling and wide timeframe that is available for appointments. Being able to work my weekly therapy appointment into my busy schedule makes this office highly convenient. Having a therapist that hears me and treats me in a manner that works for me has been a much better experience than previous offices.

This was my first appointment with her and we haven’t really begun so it’s not fair for me to say

Emily has changed my life! She is always calm and very encouraging —just what I need in a therapist. I see her brilliance in every single meeting. I leave her office with joy in my heart. Also, Emily agrees to in-person sessions because my home situation is not always private. She has never canceled a session. I’m very grateful for Emily’s hard work with me and highly recommend her.

I appreciate the fact Ms. Watson listens. She don't blurt out, she thinks carefully before speaking. When listening carefully to her words, it gives you later on after the session to take time and reflect on what you're experiencing. If that makes sense. I have no complaints, I'm satisfied with my sessions.
