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 Baton Rouge, LA 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 Baton Rouge 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.

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Mood disorders
  • Lack of self-confidence
  • Low self-esteem
  • Substance abuse
  • PTSD and trauma

What Does Psychological Treatment Involve?

Psychologists study the mind and mental processes to understand emotional and behavioral problems. Clinical psychologists undergo extensive training, obtaining degrees and often specializing in specific areas of psychology.

Talk therapy is a highly effective tool for diagnosing and treating mental and emotional disorders. It provides clients with a safe space to discuss their issues, guided by the psychologist to better understand their thoughts, motivations, and relationships.

Psychological treatment helps clients gain skills that last a lifetime, improving problem-solving and communication abilities. Visiting a psychologist can provide an objective viewpoint on your life, making it incredibly beneficial.

I believe that Stephanie Dean is an amazing individual and counselor. Not only does she care about her consumers, she also cares about other counselors that are new to the way things happen. I noticed that it was easy to speak openly because I feel that she truly empathizes when I express my issues and frustrations. She is always a joy to speak with and to. She will be an amazing asset wherever she goes.
