Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
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 Watertown, MA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Watertown 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.
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.

Every person’s story and situation are unique, and that’s why every treatment plan should also be different.

We offer medication management to our clients to help improve their overall quality of life in a safe, monitored environment. If you would like to get started with a trusted mental health professional at Thriveworks Watertown, just give us a call. One of our scheduling specialist team members can help get you set up. Let’s dive into what psychiatry and medication management are.
People often assume that you must have the most severe case of a mental illness in order to find benefit in the use of medication. However, that’s not true. You can also find it beneficial to take a prescribed medication if you have a milder case of mental illness. People with conditions such as anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders are all examples of common illnesses that often use medication in their treatment plans.
Starting a new medication can be scary if you feel like you don’t 100% know what you’re getting into. Luckily for you, our psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks Watertown Counseling are dedicated to providing compassionate, understanding client care and will make this a smooth process for you. Types of medication that you could benefit from include antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and more. Your mental health provider will assess your specific needs and goals as well as past medical history to determine what medication is the best fit for you.
