Starting Treatment With a Psychologist in Cornelius

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 Cornelius, NC 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 Cornelius 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.

Psychologists: What Do They Do?

Psychologists and other mental health professionals can help people with all kinds of mental health challenges. You can benefit from a psychologist’s expertise whether you’re going through a tough time in the short term, dealing with a chronic mental disorder, or something in between.

Psychologists are highly-trained professionals who can help with a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues, including:

  • Depression or other mood disorders
  • Panic disorders, phobias, or other anxiety disorders
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Substance abuse
  • Eating disorders
  • Relationship issues
  • Anger management issues

No matter what troubles you’re facing, a clinical psychologist can help you manage your mental health challenges and get your life back on track. Call our office at Thriveworks Counseling in Cornelius, NC to get started today.

Can a Psychologist Help Me?

Psychologists go through extensive training to learn how to diagnose and treat many different mental health issues. This specialization is important because many mental disorders and illnesses can present similar symptoms and may require special testing to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.

A licensed psychologist can help identify the best course of action and create a treatment plan that is customized to your specific situation. Psychologists often use psychotherapy to treat mental health issues for their clients.

Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, involves talking through your issues, emotions, and symptoms under the guidance of a trained professional. Your provider will steer the discussions in a way that can help you find relief for whatever you’re dealing with.

Psychotherapy usually begins with a discussion of your background and why you decided to seek out mental health care. Following this initial discussion, your psychologist will create an individualized treatment plan that they will follow over the course of future sessions.

During these sessions, you may discuss specific symptoms or issues you’re facing and how to manage them. If your psychologist determines that medication might also help your symptoms, they can coordinate with a Thriveworks psychiatric NP who can prescribe medication for your treatment plan.

Your psychologist can also teach you coping skills, relaxation techniques, and other self-care habits to improve your mental health in the long term. Contact us today at Thriveworks Counseling in Cornelius, NC to get started.

I'm used to psychologists reprimanding me, but Dr. Medlin doesn't do that. She gives me a safe space to be honest with her and myself.

I like how I can schedule online for telehealth and also look at profiles. I don't have to leave home to see a therapist which is hard with 2 kids under 4 to do.
