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 Cincinnati, OH 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 Cincinnati 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.

Give our office a call and we can set you up with an appointment as soon as tomorrow. You don’t have to face challenges on your own. Help is available.

What Is a Psychologist? 

As we just briefly touched on, psychologists are leaders in their field who dedicate themselves to helping their clients achieve greater overall happiness and success. After going through extensive education and training programs, they are equipped with the knowledge and tools to accurately diagnose, treat, and manage the myriad of mental health challenges that people may face. 

A lot of people wonder if a psychologist will prescribe them a psychiatric medication. The short answer is no. While psychologists work with you to achieve greater overall mental health and wellbeing, they don’t prescribe psychiatric medications. However, if you are considered to be a good fit for medication management, they will work with your primary care doctor or psychiatrist to ensure your needs and goals are being met.

Being a person who doesn’t like to share their dirt with strangers , I’m finding it very easy to talk with my counselor freely about the issues that I’m dealing with. I highly recommend their services.

Prior to coming to Thriveworks I only had counselors through my universities. Entering the real world of counseling was stressful, but Thriveworks made it easy! At Thriveworks I have found it easiest find a counselor with availability, ease of payment so that it doesn't feel transactional, and a good fit. My counselor has been phenomenal with seeing me for who I am being open to my different identities and even helping me make sense of my experiences because of them. Real world counseling doesn't seem so scary anymore

I am honored to recommend Jerome Rivers as a fellow clinician. He is one of the most diligent and proficient counselors that I know. I admire his ability to meet the client where they are whether it’s being silly or serious. You will be drawn to his genuineness and you should be excited to begin a new therapeutic journey with him, trust the process!
