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 Champaign, IL 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 Champaign 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?

Calvin grew up in a poor, underserved community where he often felt like he had to fight to survive. He was surrounded by bullies who antagonized him when he was walking to and from school. He got into a few physical altercations with older boys in the neighborhood who threatened to steal from him. Over time, Calvin found himself in a constant state of fight-or-flight. He felt like he always had to be on his guard in case someone was planning to target him. He felt like he had to act tough all the time even though he felt extremely vulnerable inside.

Later, when Calvin became a young man, he found that he still retained this defensive attitude even when it didn’t serve him anymore. In his intimate relationships, he had trouble opening up to his partners about his emotions. He didn’t want them to perceive him as weak. Ultimately his psychological crutches caused more than a few breakups. Calvin’s coping mechanisms might have served him when he was a kid growing up in a rough neighborhood, but they weren’t serving him anymore. He needed to talk to a professional about modifying his psychological strategies. He reached out to a psychologist at Thriveworks in Champaign, IL.

Psychologists are mental health providers who are highly trained to help their clients navigate emotional, social, academic, career, and family obstacles. Thriveworks psychologists in Champaign, IL have their clients’ best interests at heart as they provide the resources and support to help you achieve your goals.

When Should I Seek Help from a Psychologist?

It can be beneficial to seek help from a psychologist when you’re experiencing any of the following:

  • Major or mild depression
  • Obsessions and/or compulsions
  • Social anxiety
  • Addiction issues
  • Sleep problems
  • Eating problems
  • Mania
  • Hyperactivity
  • Attention difficulties
  • Caregiver stress or burnout
  • Feeling lost or purposeless
  • Stress related to trauma
  • Family crises
  • Difficulty managing your anger
  • Overwhelming grief
  • Physical or emotional abuse

Some of these challenges can be a sign of a larger mental disorder that needs to be treated; other symptoms may just need to be treated as stand-alone issues. A clinical or counseling psychologist at Thriveworks in Champaign, IL will work with you to understand your specific needs before starting any treatment plan.

  • Psychiatrists (who earned MDs at medical school and can prescribe psychiatric medications in addition to providing therapy)
  • Telepsychiatrists (psychiatrists who can practice online, which Thriveworks psychiatrists are licensed to do)
  • Licensed professional counselors (or LPCs, who provide psychotherapeutic counseling)
  • Psychotherapists (an umbrella term for a psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, or social worker who treats clients through talk therapy)

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
