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 Raleigh, NC 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 Raleigh 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?

As mentioned briefly before, psychologists are trained mental health professionals who provide their clients with a wide range of services. Their main goal is to help people work through the problems they are facing in their personal and professional lives. Some methods of therapy they may use to help their clients include: 

  • Traditional Talk Therapy: This is one of the most common and well-known methods of therapy. Talk therapy is when your therapist sits down with you and discusses how you are feeling, what challenges you’re facing, and what goals you might have for yourself. This method is very helpful in opening up and allowing your therapist to better understand your unique situation. 
  • Cognitive Therapy: Cognitive therapy focuses on how people think rather than what their reactions are. This type of therapy aims to change the way people feel or react to their stressors and symptoms. A good example might be to change the way you think through stress when put into social situations if you’re battling social anxiety. 
  • Behavior Therapy: Opposite to cognitive therapy, behavior therapy focuses on your normal and abnormal behaviors. Your psychologist might have you directly address a stressor or phobia in order to work through your reactions. In addition, behavior therapy could also reward positive behaviors in order to train your brain to continue thinking the better way. 

These are just a few examples of the therapeutic methods and techniques your psychologist may use during your sessions. At Thriveworks Counseling in Northeast Raleigh, NC, our professionals will ensure that you receive the best course of care which means utilizing unique treatment plans. You can be sure to have all of your needs met at Thriveworks.

I have been seeing Terryn Maher for a couple of months now and she is awesome!! Very knowledgeable, attentive, thorough, thoughtful, caring, etc. I could go on for awhile. I’ve been in counseling with another therapist for about 14 years but I already feel like I’m getting so much more from working with Terryn. Thriveworks on a whole has been great to work with as well. They are easy to work with and schedule appointments with. I was nervous about working with a company over directly with just the therapist but it has actually worked out well. I highly recommend them!

Krystal made my first session very comfortable and welcoming. Her goal is to get the best version of yourself she can. I can’t thank her enough for saving my life when I didn’t even know how desperate I was to be saved. HIGHLY recommend her services.

My Therapist Sara M. is an amazing Therapist. She is an excellent listener, coach, and is very attentive to the needs of the patient. I was able to connect with her in ways that I have not been able to connect with prior therapist. I am truly grateful to have found Thrivewoks and their referral to Sara M.
