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 Indianapolis, IN 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 Indianapolis 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.

What Does a Psychologist Do?

Before starting to work with a psychologist, you might be wondering what they do exactly.

To do so, they use a variety of mental health techniques and methods, including clinical assessments, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-based therapy, psychotherapy therapy, management techniques, meditation exercises, and more.

Psychologists do not administer medication to their clients. However, they will work with their client’s psychiatric or primary care provider to decide which prescription their client should take if that is the best course of action for them.
