As modern opinions about mental health conditions and therapy continue to shift, more and more people are turning to the world of mental health to gain the insight and guidance that therapists and psychiatrists can provide. People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons, and by forming a professional connection with their provider, clients can play an active role in improving their own mental health.
At Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Stockton, we still know that many people still feel uncertain about the benefits of therapy or therapy and psychiatric services. Though their reasoning may vary, it might be that they would rather not converse with a therapist whom they don’t know; or perhaps they feel that seeking mental health services would indicate that there’s something wrong with them. In other words, many folks still assume that they will be judged at some point in the therapy process for struggling with their mental health.
Our providers interact with clients of all ages and backgrounds, so every person’s therapy process or psychiatric services will vary. We put together an individualized plan of treatment for each individual’s unique needs and goals.
What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Stockton, we offer:
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
