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 Bellingham, WA 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 Bellingham 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.

Some people think that mental health services are only for those with severe mental illnesses, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Psychiatrists can help people with mild mental disorders, severe mental illnesses, and even those who are simply going through a difficult time.

In some ways, working with a psychiatrist is similar to working with other types of mental health professionals. They will meet with you to understand your background and any symptoms you’re living with. They’ll use this information to create a personalized treatment plan that they’ll implement over the following weeks.
But in other ways, working with a psychiatric provider is a unique experience. Psychiatrists spend years in medical school learning how to diagnose and treat mental health issues. They have a deep understanding of both physical and mental health, empowering them to treat your symptoms holistically and comprehensively.
Every psychiatric nurse practitioner at Thriveworks can prescribe medications for their clients. Not all treatment plans will involve medication but it can help some people reduce symptoms of a mental illness and make significant progress with their mental health.
