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 Fairfield, CA 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 Fairfield 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.

When Should I Consult With a Licensed Psychologist?

Some common reasons why people seek out the help of a licensed psychologist include:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Challenges with familial, romantic, or platonic relationships
  • Eating disorders
  • Substance abuse and addiction issues
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Stress and anger management
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Low self-esteem

Whether you’re dealing with something that just started or something that you’ve been living with for a long time, working with a psychologist can help. Mental health professionals from Thriveworks Counseling Fairfield, CA, can provide a safe, supportive space for you to discuss your issues and solve the problems you face in life.

What Happens During Psychological Treatment?

Psychologists are experts in mental health, and they specialize in testing and treating mental health issues for their clients. Psychologists frequently use psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, to help their clients work through the problems they face. Not all talk therapy looks the same — psychologists will cater your specific therapeutic experience to your individual needs, allowing you to make progress on your terms.

Some more common forms of therapy you might encounter include:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps you identify negative patterns of thought in order to replace them with healthy, positive thoughts and behaviors. It’s used for a wide range of mental health issues.
  • Psychodynamic therapy: This type of therapy is about becoming more aware of unconscious thoughts and behaviors to understand your motivations and desires. This is similar to the form of therapy you’ve probably seen in movies.
  • Interpersonal therapy: This approach focuses on fixing the problems you have in relating to others, such as your friends, family, or coworkers.

No matter what your treatment looks like, putting in this work can help you develop crucial mental health skills, like recognizing harmful and inaccurate thinking, implementing relaxation and mindfulness techniques, and building self-confidence. Our mental health professionals in Fairfield, CA, are here to help guide you through this process.

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.
