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 Chattanooga, TN 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 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.
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 Chattanooga 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.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.
Mental and physical abuse. Relationship issues like jealousy and trust issues. Financial and work stress. Depressive feelings and anxious thoughts. Anger and aggression. The list could keep going, but the point is this: There is a wide range of mental health problems that you or I might experience in our lifetime. In fact, most of us will likely experience at least one or two of the challenges we just listed.
It’s normal to encounter such problems, but some are more serious than others. And often, we find that we can’t quite manage the problem on our own. We realize that we need a little extra help. And we might ask our loved ones for their help first, but then we realize that the job is best suited for a mental health professional.
Mental health professionals can step in to help with our mental health problems, emotional disturbances, and other life issues. Psychiatrists, in specific, are uniquely qualified to assess the situation and then offer psychiatric care in the form of therapy or medication.
If you would like to talk to a psychiatrist to gain their insight and help, call Thriveworks Counseling in Chattanooga, TN at (615) 564-7173. We can connect you quickly with an online psychiatrist who can evaluate your needs and provide you with the necessary care. You can look forward to meeting with them virtually, over the phone or over video chat.
First, psychiatry centers on the study and treatment of mental health conditions and other emotional or behavioral disturbances. Psychiatrists, then, are people who have studied psychiatry and who are now qualified to treat clients with these problems.
There are many different factors that can contribute to the development or the worsening of a mental health problem, including biological, psychological, and social components. Consider the following:
If any of the above are damaged or in poor condition, it can cause or exacerbate a mental health problem. For example, if one goes through a serious breakup, they are at a greater risk of suffering from depression and other problems.
When someone does develop a problem that needs to be addressed and managed, a psychiatrist can offer their professional help. Again, these professionals can offer a diagnosis and treatment for the given issue, from anxiety disorders to depression, and other emotional disorders.
Psychiatrists can offer many different types of care, but the two main treatment methods are psychotherapy and prescription medication. Psychotherapy dates back to the 9th century and is proven to be an effective treatment option for many different psychiatric problems.
If your psychiatrist recommends psychotherapy, you can look forward to talking to them (or another mental health professional) about what you have been experiencing. Often, opening up about our problems is exactly what we need to manage or resolve them. Not to mention that these professionals can provide their expert insight and guidance.
Medication is often used in conjunction with therapy, as it helps to reduce or alleviate the symptoms that come with one’s condition. For example, an anti-anxiety medication can help to slow one’s racing thoughts.
Many of us can find value in talking to a mental health professional at some point in our lives. If you’re going through a particularly difficult time in your life due to the loss of a loved one, trauma, depression, anxiety, or another mental health problem, your time might be now.
