Reach out to Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Charlottesville to schedule your first appointment.

What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?

Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & psychiatry Charlottesville, we offer:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
  • Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.

When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

What Is Thriveworks’ Approach to Care?

It’s our goal for every client to have a positive and empowering experience. Our providers use a range of counseling methods including evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic and humanistic therapy approaches, and others to provide an effective and safe environment for every client. At the same time, clients learn skills and tools to facilitate meaningful changes to their lives, relationships, careers, and happiness.

I like the Dr. once we got the connection figured out. The connection process could use some work. Also I was asked to go to my documents in my profile and I never did find that

Michele Mitchell not only saved my life, she helped me start living it again. The level of effort, sincerity, empathy, and professionalism she has demonstrated through our sessions goes way beyond what one should expect another human being to give, therapist or otherwise.

My therapist is amazing but there are some things that can be improved with Thriveworks specifically. The way you access the site is confusing and annoying with the verification.

Sharon is a wonderful therapist! She is so very empathetic to my situation. She provides ideas for me to relax and to diminish the stress that’s in my life right now. She has really been an integral part of my recovery after this emotional abuse!

She genuinely cares about your mental health and every aspect of your life that contributes to your well-being, not because you pay her to. She listens and cares.
