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 Evanston, 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 Evanston 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?

Harris and his long-time girlfriend Stacey enjoy their close connection. But Harris is the first one to admit he struggles to express his feelings. It isn’t that he wants to keep secrets or leave his partner in the dark, but he worries that sharing his concerns and insecurities with Stacey will alienate her or cause her to judge him. Harris’s negative thought loops leave him feeling isolated and are a source of constant frustration. 

But instead of letting his anxious thoughts rule him, Harris wants to take proactive action. After taking time to talk with Stacey, Harris feels like connecting with a psychologist could be the right choice for him. Getting professional assistance and encouragement sounds beneficial, and he knows that learning to open up will help his relationship to grow, too. And after reading online, Harris knows that he might be able to connect with his psychologist virtually, too.

Just like Harris, everyday people turn to psychologists for assistance with their mental health challenges. And at Thriveworks in Evanston, IL our psychologists can offer you their support and guidance. If you’re interested, our psychological team can help you get back on the right track as you learn to balance your emotions and manage your needs. Reach out to our office to connect with a provider today. 

What Does a Psychologist Do? 

A psychologist’s job is to connect with their clients through therapy sessions. These sessions aim to help everyday people become better equipped to deal with life’s ups and downs in real-time. Psychologists often work with their clients to offer coping strategies to help deal with troublesome real-life scenarios. Some of the common situations or conditions that our team of psychologists in Beaumont, TX help with include: 

  • Anxiety
  • Depression 
  • The loss of a friend or family member
  • Financial or work-related stress 
  • Difficulty processing a divorce or breakup 
  • Self-esteem issues
  • Relationship problems
  • Child or teen behavioral issue

These are just a few of the many topics that our psychologists can address, so don’t be concerned if your situation isn’t listed. By openly discussing your problems and challenges with one of our psychologists at Thriveworks, you’ll provide them with the feedback they need to understand your situation. Plus, if your mental health needs are related to family or relationship difficulties, group counseling might be something for you to consider. Counseling or therapy sessions with a psychologist can help you and your loves to improve: 

  • Relationship or marital problems 
  • Unhealthy family dynamics 
  • Your ability to set and hold healthy boundaries in different scenarios
  • Your emotional regulation skills (through anger management or grief counseling) 
  • Communication skills and ability to compromise

Connect with a Psychologist Through Online Counseling

  • Meet with your therapist anywhere, as long as you have a solid internet connection and a private space to speak during your session.

You can also rest easy, knowing that our virtual sessions are still protected by the same rigorous privacy guidelines set forth by HIPAA. Your personal information is secure and safe, so you can make the most out of your sessions without having to worry.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
