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 Long Beach, CA 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 Long Beach 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?

If you’re ready to seek help for your mental health issues and improve your life, consider reaching out to one of our counseling psychologists at Thriveworks Counseling in Long Beach, CA today. When you feel ready to take this first step, we are here to help you on the road to healing.

When Should One Consider Seeing a Psychologist?

You may not think your problems merit seeing a mental health professional but psychologists can actually help with a wide variety of issues. Whether you are dealing with the loss of a relationship or the death of a loved one, or are simply experiencing general feelings of disinterest in your usual activities, having support from a licensed professional can help.

Psychologists can help their clients:

  • Overcome relationship problems
  • Cope effectively with major life transitions
  • Overcome past traumas
  • Deal with feelings of emptiness
  • Resolve long-lasting family disputes
  • Recover from anxiety, depression, or other mental illnesses
  • Increase confidence and self-esteem
  • Overcome phobias
  • Work through career uncertainties

If you think you could benefit from working with a licensed psychologist, Thriveworks in Long Beach, CA provides a safe, secure environment to get compassionate support and guidance.

How Can a Psychologist Help Me Heal?

Psychologists study behavior and mental processes and work with clients to help alleviate their symptoms and overcome life’s challenges. They are mental health professionals who diagnose and treat mental health conditions, often through the use of talk therapy. In this mode of treatment, clients get the opportunity to process their emotions, work through their concerns, and identify solutions to help them feel better.

Talking with a professional counselor can help you:

  • Better understand your thoughts
  • Change unwanted or unhelpful behaviors
  • Reduce your symptoms
  • Find greater happiness in relationships
  • Learn to communicate more effectively
  • Gain different perspectives on life stressors

Licensed psychologists help people from all walks of life overcome their mental, emotional, and behavioral issues. While this process can take time, clients often learn valuable lessons and coping strategies within the first few sessions that will last a lifetime.

My entire experience so far has been great.. both my psychiatrist and therapist have been a good fit in my treatment.. I am learning new skills with each visit, and gain a little more insight as well.. the convenience of having video visits is an added plus since my anxiety keeps me from driving right now.

I was extremely impressed by Juan's ability to connect and provide valuable information during my therapy. Juan's perception of facts and information retention and his ability to understand my place during my separation has help me cope with my stress. Juan has the ability to clarify and identify overlooked areas of concern. I'm very pleased with his professionalism during my therapy sessions.

My therapist is great! She's professional, personable, and on time. She goes the extra mile to be helpful. I don't like the Zoom format; I prefer in person sessions but she does her best to make it feel like we are in the same room. Very happy.

I started with Dr. Maddy about 3 months ago and I think that I had my last appointment last Friday,1/12. I really enjoyed talking to her. She is very down to earth and, most of all, she listens. I told her some things a few months ago and she remembered when I was talking with her on Friday. Amazing. We talked about a lot of issues, among them, what would I be working on, my certain issues. I would very heartedly recommend her. I can’t say enough kind words about her.
