Starting Psychiatry/medication

Need more help deciding?

One of the biggest myths around psychiatrists is that they only treat the most severe mood or personality disorders. The reality is that those cases make up just a small percentage. Millions of people every year seek out psychiatry services to help them alleviate their depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

If you’re struggling with some sort of mental illness, there is no shame in seeking help from a licensed professional. Our board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks Counseling in Tempe, AZ look forward to helping you find your way.

What Issues Do Psychiatric Providers Treat?

How do you know when it’s time to visit a psychiatrist? While psychiatrists treat clients with suicidal thoughts and debilitating personality disorders, they also treat clients struggling with substance abuse, eating disorders, trauma, and a wide range of mental illnesses and other issues.

These are just a few of the reasons people reach out for help from a licensed psychiatrist:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Eating disorders
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Mood changes
  • Substance abuse
  • Phobias
  • Abuse and trauma
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Addictive behaviors
  • Self-harmful behaviors

If you’re dealing with a mental or emotional disorder, it’s important to remember that help is available. Speak to a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner at Thriveworks Counseling in Tempe, AZ today.

I've enjoyed my time and experience with Paulina. She's professional, informative and engaging. She took the time to ask necessary questions to understand my situation and symptoms. Paulina prescribed medication that has helped me manage my symptoms and I'm extremely grateful. This medication has helped more than anything I've ever tried, and her support has allowed me to gain mental clarity and my self-confidence back. I HIGHLY recommend Paulina and am grateful for her time.

I've been a client at Thriveworks now for at least 6 months now and I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised. In this day and age where access to affordable Healthcare is a scarcity, Thriveworks has giving me some hope. Overall, Thriveworks has proven to be affordable and effective as well as reliable and responsive. My counselor Bridget has helped me open up and is teaching me coping skills and boundary setting and I feel as though I have already grown both mentally and emotionally in just these past 6 months. Bridget is reliable, a great listener and gives honest, insightful feedback along with healthy suggestions on how I might handkerchief things better the next time. Since being a patient of Bridget, I often now stop myself from my old unhealthy ways of doing things, taking a moment to reflect on what I'm learning from her and then move forward in a more positive healthy way with whatever issue I was struggling with. As for my therapist Paulina, she too had proven to me that she is listening, genuinely cares and wants to help me. As a former pharmacy tech and now a licensed nurse, it is apparent to me that Paulina is very knowledgeable when it comes to prescribing meds and puts effort and thought into helping her patients. Since being a client of Paulina, I now finally have my anxiety under control. I finally feel relief! Finding relief from my anxiety is something I have found to be a major challenge for many years with previous psych drs. I'm grateful I have found both Bridget and Paulina!
