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 Chesapeake, VA 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.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Chesapeake 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.

Can I Benefit from Working with a Psychologist?

Some are intimidated by the word “psychologist,” but the truth is that psychologists are normal people just like us! Only they are equipped with knowledge, skills, training, and experience that most of us don’t have. This toolbox allows them to help people better manage common life challenges and mental health problems. There’s no shame in asking for help, especially when you are suffering. In times of suffering, we need not shy away from help or support. We should embrace it instead. A psychologist can help his or her clients work through relationship issues, grieve the loss of a loved one, and adapt during major life transitions.

I have been in and out of therapy for decades until I came to Thriveworks and got placed with my current therapist. Over the past year and a half, she has changed my life in so many positive ways there aren't enough words to describe it.

Alise is wonderful. She is a fantastic listener and her empathy is felt in each of our meetings. She is patient with me even when I realize I'm rambling on. I like that she is direct and forthright. I definitely need that…. I feel once we've met that a load is off of my shoulders and heart… My mind is at ease.. at least for a while. She gives me plans and activities that help me in a tremendous way. I greatly appreciate her and would recommend her. I know with her counseling I'm getting better soon.
