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 Winston-Salem, 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 Winston-Salem 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.

The psychologists at Thriveworks have unique qualifications, training, and experience that enable them to help people with a wide range of challenges. These challenges might be rooted in mental illness or other problems, such as relationship or workplace issues, family conflict, and more. Here is more information on common challenges that you might bring to your psychologist’s attention:

  1. Symptoms of a mental illness: If you are exhibiting symptoms of a mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, or another mental illness, it’s important to talk to a professional about it. The psychologists at Thriveworks Winston-Salem can assess the severity of your illness, help you explore potential causes, and most importantly, offer a treatment plan for better managing your illness.
  2. Relationship issues: If you’re experiencing relationship issues that are harming your mental health and emotional wellbeing, this is another good reason to work with a psychologist. Psychologists can help you and your significant other work through the challenges specific to your relationship, from jealousy to infidelity to parenting issues and more.
  3. Workplace issues: Other common problems—of which your Thriveworks Winston-Salem psychologist can help you with—are workplace issues. Consider: work stress, job changes, exploring different career paths, handling abuse at the office, and so on. If you are experiencing workplace issues of any kind that prove threatening to your mental health, your psychologist wants to hear about it.
  4. Family conflict: And of course, many of us have family conflicts too. These conflicts can definitely have a negative impact on our wellbeing, and it’s important that we work through these challenges promptly so as to curb this negative impact and also improve our relationships with our loved ones as quickly as possible. A psychologist can help you accomplish this.

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.
