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 Sterling Heights, MI 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.

Can I see a psychologist in person or online?

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Sterling Heights 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?

If someone asked you about your current health status, what would be top of mind? You’d probably do a quick check-in of your weight, recent sicknesses, and any unusual aches and pains to determine your answer. That is, you would automatically assess your physical health. But what about your mental health? Consider: How have your stress levels been? Have you exhibited any signs of anxiety, depression, or another mental illness? Are your relationships in good shape? Are you happy at work? Do you feel fulfilled in life? Some might consider these questions heavy duty.  Some might struggle to answer them. Some might not be happy with the answers they find.

“Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean me first, it means me too.” –L.R. Knost

It’s time to start checking in on our mental health, as this is just as important as our physical health. Doing so might feel scary or intimidating at first, but it will enable you to live the happy, healthy life you deserve. Now, if you need help getting started, or you have specific challenges that you don’t know how to overcome, consider working with a professional psychologist. Psychologists are health care providers who are trained to help people work through mental health challenges and in turn optimize their mental health.

My overall experience has been as expected when dealing with behavior healthcare. There is no real care for the patient and their needs. I spent an hour on the phone with a call center rep from the billing department who said I had no insurance on file, then proceeded to transfer me to the correct department who said I did. I have been without medication that was prescribed on Monday. When I received a call back from the psychiatrist, it seemed that your company forgot to send it over. That is unacceptable behavior when it comes to dealing with any customer.

It's a wonderful experience working with Cornelia Golden. She presents a healthy balance of comfortability and professionalism. She listens with the intent to hear what is being said and yet hear what's not being said. Cornelia has a very calming presence and I feel both confident in her counseling skills and that my concerns are professionally cared for. She is a very capable counselor. Clients will greatly benefit from working with her. I am happy to write this review for Ms. Cornelis Golden.
