Experience effective therapy with a counselor or therapist in Evanston

Gabi hasn’t felt like herself for quite some time. Even though she’s still doing her best to stay active in her social circle and tries to keep her romantic life exciting, there’s an underlying layer of anxiety that seems to pervade all of her spare time. The moments that she spends alone feel like ages, where she often struggles to motivate herself to do anything. Last weekend, she was unable to make plans with anyone and spent two days glued to the couch, paralyzed by her mind’s deepest what-if scenarios.

But Gabi doesn’t want each day to go the way that they have; in fact, Gabi wants to connect with a mental health professional about what she’s worried is an undiagnosed anxiety disorder. Even though she’s never talked to a provider before, she knows that remaining open to the benefits they could provide her is important. Plus, Gabi knows that getting her mental health needs addressed could benefit other areas of her life, too. 

If you can relate to Gabi’s experience, then anxiety or other mental health conditions may have started to become persistent and invasive threats to your emotional wellbeing. At Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Evanston, we’d like to offer you newfound relief—relief that can be found when you open up to one of our licensed providers. Our therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists will work with you to help guide you towards better mental health and quality of life. 

How Can a Mental Health Professional Help Me? 

Everyone is unique, and so are their mental health needs. That’s why at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Evanston, we offer personalized mental health care, through treatment that specifically targets your concerns and goals. Counseling, therapy, and psychiatric care help everyday people like you, who are: 

  • Having difficulty coping with and regulating work or family-related stress 
  • Difficulty regulating emotions like anger or grief 
  • Feeling sad or hopeless for an extended period
  • Experiencing issues in their marriage or relationship
  • Noticing that anxiety and racing thoughts are upsetting their daily life 

Regardless of what type of provider you’re paired with, sharing your perspective and thoughts is an integral part of the healing process. By opening up to one of our mental health professionals, you’ll be giving them the feedback they need to offer your coping strategies and new perspectives. 

Is Online Psychiatry Right for Me?

Let’s face it—our modern lives are busier than ever. Like most people, you probably have a hectic schedule that leaves little time for you to prioritize your personal needs when it’s most important. But with online psychiatry at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Evanston, you’ll be able to get the care you need on your terms. Online psychiatry is a great way for you to access mental health services from home, the office, or on the go. As long as you have reliable internet and somewhere private to talk, you’re set. 

If you’re unfamiliar with what a psychiatrist is, they’re a specialized type of provider. They’re licensed therapists who are also medical doctors; their specialized background often makes them the best choice for those suffering from persistent or severe mental health conditions, especially mood or behavioral disorders. Some of the common conditions and disorders that our psychiatric team in Evanston, IL can assist with include: 

  • PTSD 
  • Generalized anxiety disorder
  • Major depression 
  • ADHD 
  • OCD 
  • Eating disorders 
  • Even issues related to substance abuse and addiction 

Some people get confused discerning the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. While psychologists can also diagnose and treat many different types of disorders and conditions, psychiatrists are set apart from other providers by their medical backgrounds. In addition to being  licensed therapists, psychiatrists can prescribe helpful medications for people to better manage and mitigate their symptoms. Psychiatrists are also capable of using talk or behavioral therapy in conjunction with a prescription for better results.
