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 Bedford, NH 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 Bedford 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?

If you had to sum up your mental health in one word, which word would you choose? “Fine,” “Okay,” “Great,” “Good.” You’d probably pick one of those words to keep it simple. But, if you were being completely honest with yourself, which word would you really choose to describe the state of your mental health?

  • “Bad”
  • “Depressed’
  • “Anxious”
  • “Unhappy”
  • “Stressed”

When we’re struggling mentally or emotionally, the above often describe how we’re feeling. Common mental health problems are depression, anxiety, stress, and general dissatisfaction with life. The bigger problem, though, is that we often fail or choose not to talk about them. 

Having open and honest conversations about our mental health is incredibly important to our overall well being. That said, we know that talking to friends and family isn’t always an option, nor is it adequate for resolving some of these more serious issues. This is where psychologists come in. 

Licensed psychologists talk to their clients about their mental health problems. They serve as a nonjudgmental third party, and they come equipped with skills, experience, and training that allows them to help their clients find resolution.

If you think you could benefit from talking to a psychologist, you’re in the perfect place. You can call Thriveworks Counseling in Bedford, NH and get scheduled with a psychologist immediately. We have both in-person and online appointments to choose from. Pick what suits you and your schedule best!

What Do Psychologists Do?

Psychologists specialize in the study of psychology and mental health. They have a few main duties and objectives, which include:

  • Conduct research to study and understand human behaviors
  • Collect information by observing and asking questions
  • Utilize their skills to help their clients understand themselves better
  • Work with clients to improve problematic thoughts and behaviors
  • Design and implement treatment plans, which typically include therapy
  • Work closely with other medical professionals to best help their clients

These functions ultimately enable psychologists to help their clients. These mental health professionals see a wide range of clients, from people with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses to people with relationship issues, problematic stress, and other challenges that harm their mental wellbeing.

As you can gather from the list above, psychologists often help their clients in a form of mental health treatment called therapy. In their therapy sessions, psychologists work to understand their clients’ thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors. They also help their clients understand them and make any needed adjustments.

Different Types of Psychotherapy

There are many different types of psychotherapy, which are utilized in different circumstances. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on helping individuals understand and correct harmful thinking patterns. Several other forms of therapy include:

  • Humanistic therapies
  • Family therapy 
  • Couples therapy
  • Interpersonal therapy
  • Psychodynamic therapy
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)

The above have the potential to help people with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health disorders. They can also help to repair relationships with romantic partners, family members, friends, and others.

If you think you could benefit from working with a psychologist, schedule a consultation. Psychologists see many different people every day. They understand many mental challenges and how to help their clients through them, creating personalized treatment plans for every person they meet with.

My wife and I had an excellent experience with our amazing counselor Sam. We reached out for help with communication and intimacy issues and he helped us make real positive change in our lives. The strategies we developed with Sam have made a huge difference and we feel more connected than ever. He was always attentive, thoughtful, and accommodating to our busy schedules. The option to meet remotely or in person was a huge plus for us. We highly recommend his services.
