Starting Psychologists

What is 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 does Psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Baton Rouge, LA 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.

Is Psychologists conducted in person or online?

How long does Psychologists last?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Baton Rouge 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.

Need more help deciding?

For some people, admitting they need help can be one of the hardest things to do. Suffering from anxiety, depression, or some other mental health issue can feel incredibly isolating. But this is a common situation for many people and it’s not surprising considering how many stresses we face in our daily lives.

While ups and downs are a normal part of life, there are many instances where you may need the help of a trained professional to make it through. This is where clinical psychologists come in. While pop culture has brought greater awareness to therapy through movies and TV, many people only associate psychologists with issues like suicidal thoughts or severe mental disorders.

However, mental and emotional problems can affect anyone. You may not feel comfortable sharing those issues with friends and family, but there is no need to face your problems alone.

If you’ve been struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental or emotional issues, you don’t have to face your problems alone. Licensed professionals are standing by at Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA.

When Should Someone See a Psychologist?

You don’t have to be at your breaking point to benefit from the guidance of a clinical psychologist. In fact, it’s a good idea to proactively pay attention to symptoms that relate to your mental wellbeing just as you would for physical problems. That way, you can get the help you need before it becomes a crisis.

Psychologists work with clients dealing with a broad array of mental, emotional, and behavioral problems. While they can help you work through panic attacks or the loss of a loved one, they can also help you understand your motivations and goals for the future.

Some of the most common reasons clients see a psychologist include:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Mood disorders
  • Lack of self-confidence
  • Low self-esteem
  • Substance abuse
  • PTSD and trauma
  • Emotional and physical abuse
  • Phobias
  • Compulsive behaviors
  • Loss of a loved one
  • Relationship and marriage issues
  • Career uncertainty

You may be dealing with one of the above problems or facing another issue related to your mental and emotional health. Either way, you can find compassionate and expert care at Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA.

What Does Psychological Treatment Involve?

Psychologists study the mind and mental processes as a means of understanding emotional and behavioral problems. Clinical psychologists spend years studying mental and behavioral issues of many kinds, obtaining a bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degree while often going on to study a particular specialty area of psychology.

Talk therapy is a highly effective tool in the psychologist’s tool belt to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders. Many people have heard the term but don’t understand what it is or may even find it daunting. Talk therapy gives clients a safe and comfortable space where they can talk freely about the issues they’re experiencing. A psychologist will use their training to guide the client through this process so they can better understand their thought processes, motivations, and relationships with others.

While a clinical psychologist can help with a particularly challenging issue in your life, the skills you learn can last a lifetime. Clients often leave feeling better equipped to solve problems and communicate with those around them in all sorts of situations.

Getting access to an experienced and objective viewpoint on your life and the issues you’re facing is one of the reasons visiting a psychologist can be incredibly beneficial. The licensed professionals at Thriveworks Counseling in Baton Rouge, LA are here to guide you along the path to mental and emotional wellbeing. Get in touch with us today to schedule an appointment.

I believe that Stephanie Dean is an amazing individual and counselor. Not only does she care about her consumers, she also cares about other counselors that are new to the way things happen. I noticed that it was easy to speak openly because I feel that she truly empathizes when I express my issues and frustrations. She is always a joy to speak with and to. She will be an amazing asset wherever she goes.
