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 Chicago, 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.

Can I see a psychologist in person or online?

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Chicago 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?

Psychologists are trained to handle a variety of challenges and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with depression or simply hoping to better communicate with family members or colleagues, a provider at Thriveworks in Chicago, IL can help. If you could use a little professional support, please schedule an appointment with us. We would love to help you achieve your goals.

Why Work With a Psychologist?

Perhaps you’ve recently lost a loved one and are struggling to return to your normal routine. Perhaps anxiety prevents you from pursuing a new career or making friends. Or maybe you have trouble feeling engaged and focused on the tasks in front of you.

People decide to reach out to a mental health professional for countless reasons, including:

  • Employment or financial uncertainty
  • Anger management issues
  • Breakup or divorce
  • Family strife
  • Excessive stress or anxiety
  • Trauma or abuse
  • Child behavioral problems

How Can a Psychologist Benefit Me?

Psychologists are licensed mental health professionals who have undergone years of education and thousands of hours of training to provide essential mental health services. They are equipped to relieve the mental and emotional stressors that many people experience in their daily lives.

When you meet with a counseling psychologist, they will be able to create a treatment plan that addresses your core concerns with nuance, dignity, and care. They will diagnose and offer an assessment of your illness, disorder, or challenge before guiding you through a customized course of action. It may include one or more forms of talk therapy, recommendations for coping strategies you can use in the future, as well as self-care habits you can use to prevent mental health concerns before they even arise.

Above all, your psychologist will provide guidance and support that gives you the strength to face your concerns head-on.
