Common approaches to Psychologists

Leaf Seperator

Starting Treatment With a Psychologist

What are psychologists?

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.

How do psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Richmond, VA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Richmond is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

Need more help deciding?

Work with a Psychologist in Richmond, VA (Shockoe Bottom)

As you can see from the example above, psychologists can help you manage mental illnesses like depression. But their help doesn’t stop here. They can also help you grieve the loss of a loved one; resolve conflicts with friends and family members; manage stress; process difficult emotions; and so much more.

They have dedicated years to acquiring the appropriate skills, experience, and level of training it takes to help you live a better life. The psychologists at Thriveworks in Richmond (Shockoe Bottom) want to go on this journey with you.

To schedule an appointment with a Thriveworks psychologist at our Richmond office, give us a call at (804) 980-7242.

Can Working with a Psychologist Benefit Me?

The Thriveworks team believes that every single one of us can benefit from working with a mental health professional. We might not like to ask for help, but when we do, we reap many benefits. The psychologists at Thriveworks Richmond would love the chance to make a major difference in your life. To delve into what we touched on above, they can help you to…

  • Find happiness and success at work: Our Thriveworks psychologists in Richmond, VA (Shockoe Bottom) can guide you in finding happiness and greater success at your job. This process might involve learning new stress management techniques, exploring careers that you are interested in, or simply making your situation at your current workplace better. We spend the majority of our lives at work, which means we need to make sure we are satisfied at our jobs! This plays a major role in our overall health and wellbeing.
  • Feel personally fulfilled: Our psychologists can also help you find personal fulfillment, in addition to professional fulfillment. We can find personal fulfillment in our relationships, at work, in helping others, and in beloved activities. If you are lacking in this area, your Thriveworks psychologist can help you find that meaning and purpose in life. Just as happiness and success at work is important, so is finding personal fulfillment.
  • Keep up with your mental health: Finally, but perhaps most importantly, your psychologist can help with general mental health upkeep and maintenance. They can help you through any mental health challenges that are proving to have a negative impact on you, such as the loss of a loved one, a breakup, a mental illness, and so on. If you are struggling, your psychologist wants to hear about it. They’re here to help you however they can.

Your Thriveworks psychologist will listen to your needs and your goals. And they will use your identified needs and goals to best structure your treatment.
