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 Framingham, MA 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 Framingham 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?

Consider: You were always a fan of love stories—especially fairytales that feature Prince Charming. But then, your parents divorced during your freshman year of college. Their decision to split blindsided you, as you always idolized their relationship and hoped to model your own after it someday. In the years that follow, you experience difficult emotions related to your parents’ divorce. You struggle with a fear of commitment and always look the other way when someone shows interest in you. You wish that you could open up and learn to love someone the way that your parents used to—but now you couldn’t imagine loving, as that leaves you vulnerable to losing. 

“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.” –David Richo

Fear of commitment is a common problem in today’s society, especially among those who have directly affected by divorce. However, though it is a common problem, it isn’t an easy problem to overcome. The good news is that a psychologist can help—their expertise will allow them to help you understand your fear of commitment and eventually overcome it. This is but one challenge the psychologists at Thriveworks Counseling in Framingham can assist with. There is a wide array of problems that one might encounter in any given moment—many of which a mental health professional can help you to work through effectively.

The psychologists on our team are dedicated to helping their clients. They understand that treatment isn’t one size fits all. Instead, treatment must be customized to fit the specific individual’s needs. If you choose to work with one of our psychologists, they will get to know your needs to best inform treatment. Then, they will work alongside you to tackle your challenges and in turn improve your overall wellbeing. Scheduling an appointment at our has never been easier: just call (508) 392-4269 and a scheduling specialist will assist you.

How Can a Psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling Framingham Help Me?

Your specific experience will depend on what you’re struggling with and what you hope to work on with your psychologist. For example, here are a few specific problems our psychologists help their clients with:

  1. Grieving a tough loss: If you’ve lost a loved one, every area of your life has likely been forever changed. You’re forced to process difficult feelings and adjust your life accordingly. This is a tremendous challenge, and it can prove more difficult for some than others. If you’ve lost a loved one and you’re struggling to accept this loss or move forward with your life, a psychologist can support and guide you through the grief process.
  2. Overcoming issues in your relationship: We discussed a fear of commitment earlier, but that isn’t the only relationship issue you might encounter. There are many others, including infidelity, emotional (or physical) abuse, jealousy, mistrust, and so on. Whatever it may be, a psychologist can help you work through it and even improve your relationship.
  3. Managing mental illness: There are many mental illnesses out there, two of the most common being depression and anxiety. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or experiencing symptoms of another mental illness, a psychologist can offer their expertise to help you manage these symptoms and the illness as a whole.

As you might have gathered by now, the psychologists at Thriveworks Counseling in Framingham are uniquely qualified to help you with whatever you are struggling with. If you have a mental health problem or another life challenge on your hands, we want to help.
