Frequently asked questions

The world is a scary, overwhelming place. As we grow, we encounter more and more dangers, more and more people that lose our trust and respect. As children, the world can seem so simple, with clear divisions between “right” and “wrong”, and “good” and “evil”. But as adults, we learn that life is filled with gray area, and it can be hard to know who to trust. The burdens and realities of the world can become too much to process on our own. We feel unsure of the world around us, and unable to make steps toward positivity. When this happens, enlisting the help of a Thriveworks provider in Buffalo, NY can provide clarity and peace in the storm of life.

Perhaps you are thriving and working well on your own, but just know that you could be achieving more. You are looking for that helping hand, that boost in your productivity, that guiding light in a sea of choices and possibilities. Thriveworks providers include licensed therapists, counselors, life coaches, and social workers who can help you take your life or career to the next level. We can help you understand and realize your potential. We can help you thrive even more, through in-person counseling, online counseling, or a hybrid of both.

Who Can Benefit from Therapy or Counseling?

Those who choose to pursue counseling or psychotherapy come from both sides of the spectrum. If you are seeking counseling, the reason may be very serious and traumatic, or it may be simply seeking career or life coaching. Whatever you are facing, we have a provider at Thriveworks Counseling Buffalo who can partner with you to create the life that you need. We all encounter problems and issues on a daily basis. Trouble in our relationships, with our children, or in our extended family, is very common. We are all flawed individuals, and our issues multiply when we are together. When you connect with a qualified mental health professional at Thriveworks Counseling Buffalo, we can help diagnose the exact cause of your emotional turmoil, and then create a realistic plan for improvement.

There is no comprehensive list that includes all of the reasons that individuals, families, and couples seek therapy or counseling. In coaching, people are looking to achieve more and make their goals and dreams a reality. They may be simply looking for a short pause button during their week in which to regroup. Other times, our clients are struggling with a serious trauma or disaster, and are looking to put the pieces of their life back together.

People of all ages can benefit from counseling, from the very young to the very mature. When you read through this list, perhaps you were immediately able to identify the issue that you or your loved one are facing. Or perhaps you did not see your personal problem and feel discouraged. There is no need to feel this way. The problems we deal with on a daily basis may be so complicated, unique, and personal, it is difficult to sum them up into a bullet point. Every human is unique, as are their problems. We can put you into contact with a licensed counselor at Thriveworks Counseling Buffalo who has experience dealing with your personal issue or concern. We have a provider standing by that is perfect for you.

What to Expect in Your Initial Counseling or Therapy Appointment

You may be hesitant to contact Thriveworks Counseling Buffalo because you have no idea what to expect in a session. For some people, they do not know anyone else who has been to therapy or counseling. They may picture laying on a couch, crying uncontrollably, talking about childhood for weeks and weeks. While this may be true for some clients, it is certainly not the case for many. You are in charge of your session. You can set the pace and decide on the topics of conversation. We are working together for your improvement. If something makes you uncomfortable, you have every right to say so.

The exceptional therapists and counselors at Thriveworks Counseling Buffalo will begin by helping you determine the reasons why you decided to seek counseling or psychotherapy. When you see a therapist, you may be concerned about symptoms like insomnia or attention difficulties. At an initial intake, a provider will gather the information they need to determine if you have a mental health condition. They they can develop a treatment plan. In time, they will then help you set goals, and determine how progress will be measured. They will help you realize your strengths, understand your weaknesses, and overcome adversity. Every counselor has different methods and areas of specialty, and we will match you with a provider that will work for you.

When a Loved One Is Struggling with Their Mental Health

Perhaps you are not looking for help for yourself, but rather for a spouse or child. If so, the providers at Thriveworks Counseling Buffalo are the answer. Slammed doors, screaming matches, lies, late nights; some of these things are normal in life, but they can also indicate a serious problem. If your home sounds like this, you or your child could benefit from talking with a Thriveworks provider. You owe it to yourself and your loved one to try to create more harmony in your home. This type of home life does not have to be the norm. Make the effort to create the peace that your family really needs.

Teenagers in today’s society are dealing with many stressors and temptations. Drugs, social media, peer pressure, college and career plans; sometimes it’s helpful to have a listening ear that is not a parent. A Thriveworks therapist may be able to reach your child or teenager in a way you cannot. When your lovely child becomes a sullen teenager, he or she may spend hours in their room, on the phone, and unwilling to talk to their family. If you, as a parent or caregiver, have a feeling something might be wrong, do not ignore that instinct.

We all know the dismal statistics on marriage. When you and your spouse are fighting frequently, it may quickly become “normal”. You are too busy with your responsibilities to address these serious issues, and resentment begins to grow. If your relationship or marriage is in trouble, Thriveworks counselors are ready to help. Two people can have very different communication styles, daily habits, and goals for relationships. Deep-seated hurts can cause so many hard feelings, it can be difficult to know where to start in repairing a relationship. We can address each partner’s fears, needs, and misunderstandings. Licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) at Thriveworks Counseling Buffalo are experts in repairing relationships, and they can help you begin to recover the love that you have lost.
