We sometimes convince ourselves that our mental and emotional struggles shouldn’t be shared with others. We believe that revealing our problems will ostracize us, making us appear differently to our family, friends, and colleagues.
The truth is, we may never know what others are going through. Our mailperson may be dealing with the loss of a beloved pet, our child’s teacher may be recovering from the psychological effects of an abusive relationship, and our friends may be dealing with depression or anxiety.
It can sometimes feel like we’re the only ones struggling with our emotional and mental wellness, but this isn’t the case. Countless people every day reach out to mental health professionals to get the dedicated care they need. Psychologists, counselors, psychiatrists, therapists, and other licensed professionals provide considerate, supportive services to people who are dealing with various mental and emotional concerns.
Just as doctors work to treat physical ailments, mental and emotional health experts work with you to combat and prevent the emotional and psychological challenges caused by mood disorders, mental illnesses, self-esteem, and other internal and external factors.
Perhaps you identify with some of the mental health issues mentioned above. Perhaps you’re grieving or in pain. Or maybe you know what it’s like to experience PTSD, body image issues, or social phobias.
If you can sympathize with these issues or if you’ve encountered a different mental and emotional stressor in your life, consider setting up an appointment with one of our providers at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Aurora. Working together, we can address the concerns that are stopping you from living your most vibrant life.
Is Pursuing Counseling Right for Me?
Counselors and therapists work with clients to provide long-lasting solutions to the internal and external emotional and psychological challenges they face. If you’ve ever had mentally or emotionally stressful situations interfere with your day-to-day life, then counseling may be right for you.
Whatever your challenge, you don’t have to face it alone. A licensed mental health expert can help identify, address, and mitigate your concerns. Schedule an appointment with an expert at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Aurora to retake control of your life and begin again on the path toward mental wellness.
The Benefits of Speaking to a Licensed Psychiatrist
When people think of the conditions psychiatrists treat, they often think of only severe mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, substance abuse, or major depressive disorder. But psychiatrists are medically trained mental health professionals who address a variety of illnesses, disorders, and challenges, from mild to acute.
What separates a psychiatrist from other mental wellness professionals are their medical degrees, which allow them to prescribe medications and treat physical illnesses that sometimes accompany mental and emotional disorders.
A psychiatrist can work with you to:
- Assess your disorder and give a name to what you’re feeling
- Prescribe medications as needed and provide psychoanalysis or other forms of therapy
- Provide coping techniques that will help you mitigate future concerns
If you believe speaking to a psychiatrist can help you with your challenge, please schedule an appointment with us at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Aurora. Our providers would love to help you make a positive change in your life.
