Orlando, FL Psychiatry – Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatric Providers

Psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, like eating disorders, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness, consider talking to an online psychiatric provider at Thriveworks Counseling in Orlando, FL. We’re here for you.

When Is It Time to Talk to a Psychiatrist?

For many people, it’s difficult to ask for help—especially when it comes to our mental health. Stigma surrounds mental health help, and while it is improving, it is still an obstacle for many in receiving the mental health help they need. 

If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition, it is time to talk to a psychiatrist. These professionals specialize in providing psychiatric care. And here at Thriveworks, our psychiatric providers are devoted to offering a safe, nonjudgmental space for working through personal challenges.

To be more specific, it is time to talk to a psychiatrist if you are experiencing…

  • Anxious or depressive thoughts
  • Addiction thoughts and behaviors
  • Negative side effects from a traumatic experience
  • Symptoms of an eating disorder, like anorexia or bulimia
  • Difficulty sleeping, such as insomnia or another sleep disturbance
  • Thoughts of self-harm
  • Negative side effects from a psychiatric medication

Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers can help you better understand your experience with the above. These are often characteristic of a harmful mental health condition. The good news, though, is that talking to a psychiatrist is taking that first step in managing your condition and living better. 

Psychiatric Treatment: What Does It Look Like?

Everybody’s different. When it comes to mental health treatment, this means that the right approach to treatment can change from one individual to another. However, the most common and effective approaches to psychiatric treatment are therapy and medication.

Some people benefit best from one or the other, while others benefit the most from a combination of therapy and medication. Fortunately, psychiatrists are qualified to provide both. A major difference between psychiatrists and other mental health providers is that they can prescribe and manage medication.

If you can benefit from prescription medication, your Thriveworks psychiatric provider will work to understand your history with medications. They will also be sure to explain exactly how you should take the medication you are prescribed, such as with or without food. Then, they will monitor your progress and make changes to your medication as needed. 

The ultimate goal with therapy and/or medication is to help you live better. You can trust that your psychiatric provider at Thriveworks Counseling in Orlando, FL will stay committed to helping you live better through mental health treatment.

Yeah, therapy is subjective so it's hard to rate a company based on one therapist encounter but I do have to include the company overall because it's essential to my comprehensive review. My therapist tried, was friendly and accommodating but just didn't work for me. The company overall is disjointed and maybe a little too big for proper management. You call a central number to get set up but when it comes to quitting the therapist it is up to you as the patient to do it all. Any attempt to log into the site gets redirected to an email link. The latest CSR I had unfortunately had a thick accent and was not really listening to me and my responses.

Hi I was a prior supervisor for Margaret in California where she did her post degree internship. She was a very skilled clinician who had many kids that were high-risk and lived in low-income families. Her relationship and interactive approach was very successful with these children and families. I was impressed with her skill and abilities. I would highly recommend her. Vicci
