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.
Thriveworks psychologists in Boston, MA 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.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Boston 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.

What Do Psychologists Do? How Can They Help Me?
Psychologists possess doctoral degrees, which allow them to help their clients with a wide range of issues. In addition to mental illness, a psychologist can assist you if you’re experiencing relationship issues, difficult emotions like loneliness or low self-esteem, grief and loss, and more. We’ll dive into these items as well as a few other instances in which a psychologist can prove helpful:
- Relationship issues: The ugly truth is that relationships aren’t always easy—in fact, maintaining our relationships can be really hard especially when we encounter challenges like infidelity, trust issues, jealousy, and financial instability. Fortunately, a psychologist can help us to work through these challenges together and even strengthen our relationship in the process.
- Difficult emotions: In our relationships and outside of them, we experience difficult emotions like sadness, anger, regret, loneliness, low self-esteem and so on. Processing these emotions, understanding them, coping with them… all of this can prove challenging. If you find this to be true, a psychologist can help you master your emotions. While we often can’t control how we feel, we can change how we act on our emotions—and that makes a world of difference.
- Grief and loss: It doesn’t get much more challenging than losing a loved one. The grief process can be excruciating as you learn to accept the reality of your loss and live your life without the individual. Nobody is expected to manage this alone. If you have lost a beloved friend, family member, or pet, it’s important that you get plenty of support. A psychologist can provide you with that support and also guide you through your personal grief process.
- Other life challenges: We all experience unique challenges as we navigate life, from mental illness to relationship issues, difficult emotions, grief and loss, stress at work, parenting trouble, and so much more. In any case, a psychologist can provide you with the help, support, or guidance that you’re in search of.
The psychologists at Thriveworks Boston understand that your challenges are unique to you. They will work to understand your unique experiences and needs to then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to best help you.
