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.
Thriveworks psychologists in Spring, TX 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.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Spring 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.
The famous psychologist Viktor E. Frankl once stated, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” People can cope with distressing emotions by tackling the feelings directly, or they can tackle the problem that’s causing the negative emotion. Or they can do both. Humans can actively pursue better inner lives and better circumstances. That’s part of our freedom. Choosing to see a mental health professional might be the first major step in that positive journey.
The psychologists at Thriveworks in Spring, TX excel at giving people the inner resources they need to achieve their goals. Licensed psychology can help with coping strategies, communication, managing the symptoms of mental health conditions, and helping people build resilience in the face of adversity.
