West Hartford, CT Psychiatry – Meet with Board-Certified Psychiatric Providers

Talk therapy, or psychotherapy, is an effective mental health treatment. However, it isn’t the only form of mental health treatment. Many individuals also find value in taking medication, sometimes even alongside talk therapy.

If an individual does determine a need or express interest in taking a psychiatric medication, a psychiatrist or another psychiatric provider can help.

Are you looking for medication management in the West Hartford, CT area? Thriveworks in West Hartford has online psychiatric nurse practitioners on our team who can provide you with these services. To schedule services at our location, give us a call.

Who Needs or Can Benefit from Medication?

Many people think that medication management is only for those who are struggling severely: those with major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc. In reality, medication management is for people with varying disorders and varying degrees. Psychiatric medication can be useful for someone who is struggling with mild depression or anxiety; it can help someone who is struggling with postpartum depression; it can benefit someone with adjustment disorder. Again, there are many different scenarios in which medication can prove helpful.

Psychiatric medication is not one size fits all. The online psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks Counseling will work with you to determine which type of medication might best help you. If you find that your medication isn’t helping you the way you need it to or the way you expected it to, your psychiatric nurse practitioner will help you find a different medication that does help with your specific symptoms.

Schedule a Psychiatry Appointment at Thriveworks in West Hartford

Some people feel nervous about scheduling an appointment for mental health services. We understand that this is a major challenge for some people to tackle. If this rings true for you, it might make you feel better to know that…

  1. When you call to schedule your appointment, you’ll talk to a real person, not an automated service.
  2. You will have a wide range of appointment options to select from, including sessions in the evenings and on weekends.
  3. New clients often meet with their provider the same week as scheduling. We will get you in as soon as possible.
  4. We offer a range of mental health services, which our providers can utilize to help you with your specific challenges.

To get started with an online psychiatric nurse practitioner—or another mental health professional for that matter—call us today at (860) 553-3374.

I love the format of telehealth in the evening. At a time where it's so challenging to find Psychiatrists, Thriveworks has been so easy to work with. And Ericka is lovely; easy to work with, easy to talk to, trustworthy, and very helpful.
