Starting Treatment With a Psychologist

What are 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 do psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Cedar Rapids, IA 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.

Can I see a psychologist in person or online?

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Cedar Rapids 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.

How Can a Psychologist Help?

A licensed psychologist at Thriveworks may use one or more forms of talk therapy to help you work through your struggles. Some examples of this could include:

  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT encourages clients to learn coping mechanisms to more effectively regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, and reduce self-destructive behaviors.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on challenging and reframing harmful thought processes to make behavioral changes and mitigate symptoms.
  • Art therapy: Art therapy uses art and creativity to help people relieve stress and identify underlying issues.

Other forms of therapy include interpersonal therapy, exposure therapy, and psychoanalysis. Working with a psychologist can help you lead a happier life, build stronger relationships, and take back your passions and hobbies once again.

Susan is a compassionate, inspirational, and insightfull therapist. She helped me through the toughest moments of my life and taught me techniques to enjoy living, rather than just scraping by. It seems like a lot of therapists are leaving this location recently. Susan is the best, my quality of life has dramatically improved with her guidance. I strongly recommend her to anyone in need.

I work with Susan, who is kind, understanding, and easy to talk to. She's helping me learn techniques to manage my anxiety, and for the first time in my adult life, I feel like I have a sense of control and can handle any curveballs thrown my way. I've only just started seeing her recently but have already seen a huge improvement in my mood and day-to-day life. Susan is awesome to work with and I highly recommend her!
