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 Pittsburgh, PA 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 Pittsburgh 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.

When psychiatric providers decide to pursue this career path, they commit to many years of learning, training, and gaining experience. By the time they help clients, they are well-prepared to assess and treat a variety of mental disorders.
If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental disorder, you need to consult a medical professional. It is crucial to your healing and your wellbeing. A psychiatric provider can assess your specific symptoms, make a diagnosis, and then offer a plan of care that helps you manage your condition.
The following are commonly diagnosed and treated by psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers:
When you see a psychiatric provider about any of the above disorders, they’ll want to know about every symptom that you have. It is important that they understand the full picture as well as your specific needs so they can make an accurate diagnosis as well as come up with a proper treatment plan!
When it comes to treatment for mental disorders, such as those we listed above, therapy and medication can both prove effective. As we discussed previously, psychiatric providers are able to offer medication to their clients as well as therapy. Therefore, if you are interested in how a medication might help you manage your symptoms, a psychiatric provider is the person to talk to.
A psychiatric provider will assess your specific symptoms and needs to identify which treatment method you might best benefit from. Often, people benefit from talking to a therapist as well as taking a medication, like an antidepressant, mood stabilizer, or an anti-anxiety agent.
If you are prescribed a medication, it is important that you work with your psychiatric provider to understand exactly how to take it as well as potential side effects. You should also develop clear communication with your psychiatric provider: Be sure to tell them when you don’t think a medication is working out.
Another important part of managing your mental health condition is practicing self-care. Your psychiatric provider can “prescribe” self-care activities like exercising or journaling. This will further help to alleviate your symptoms.
If you would like to schedule a psychiatry appointment, call Thriveworks in Pittsburgh, PA. We offer many premium benefits, including online care. As we touched on earlier, you can expect to talk to your psychiatric provider over video; this means quality, convenient, and comfortable care.
We would love to help you on your mental health journey. To get started on this journey, call us when you are ready to book your first session.
