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 Fort Lauderdale, FL 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 Fort Lauderdale 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?

Psychologists are healthcare providers with specific skills and experience that allow them to assist people with a variety of mental health issues. These include a range of common life challenges, such as stress management and coping after losing a loved one, and mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. These professionals undergo supervised training and come equipped with knowledge learned from multiple years of graduate school.

If you’re in Broward County, Thriveworks Fort Lauderdale, FL is here to help.

Should I Work with a Psychologist?

As you can tell, psychologists prove beneficial to many different people for many different reasons! One individual might decide to work with a psychologist because they have been experiencing anxiety, feeling depressed, or majorly stressed at work. Another individual might pursue work with a psychologist because they’re going through a breakup or divorce and need extra support. Common issues addressed with a psychologist include:

  • Anxiety and depression help
  • Stress management
  • Anger management
  • Breakups and divorce
  • Financial stress
  • The loss of a loved one
  • Work stress
  • Addiction recovery
  • Major life changes

We could keep going, but in all honesty, the list would never end. This shows just how beneficial working with a psychologist can be. Additionally, psychologists have the training to conduct certain assessments and in turn diagnose mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, and more.

What Techniques Are Used by Thriveworks Psychologists?

The Broward psychologists at Thriveworks Fort Lauderdale use many techniques to help their clients make meaningful strides in life. Often, they will use therapy, which enables them to look at each individual’s needs and design a customized treatment plan that will best help that person overcome the challenge at hand. This will involve discussing challenges and determining the right path forward.

In certain instances, someone can best benefit from therapy in combination with medication. If this is your case, your psychologist will work with a psychiatric NP.

Their billing is horrible. I signed a payment agreement and they did not honour it. They charged my card for way more than the agreed amount making my account go negative. Cancelled all my appointment and wont be using this service again.

I’m 3 times better, because of the instructions and medication. I never was a medicine, trusting person. But after seeing my Psychiatrist, and him explaining the benefits, I trusted the process. And thank God I did.!

I’ve been dealing with a few stressers before reaching out for help in the psychology space. I reached out mainly because the pain being caused in my relationship. Sarah welcomed me into her network here with such professionalism I felt instantly comfortable with having open and candid conversation. Since then my life has gone through and still going through major changes some good and some bad. I would like Thriveworks and Sarah know that this couldn’t have been a better time for someone like Sarah to open her door for me and coach me through some of things I’ve been going thru and point me in the right direction of how to be the best version of a person I can be. You can tell she is passionate about her work and cares deeply for clients like myself. If there’s ever a time where someone I know needs to talk to someone I will recommend Thriveworks and specifically Sarah if it’s possible. Sarah, keep up the good work. You’re making a positive difference in my life.
