Starting Psychiatry/medication

Does Thriveworks offer psychiatric services?

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.

How does psychiatry work?

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in , GA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

What is the difference between a mental health therapist & psychiatrist?

A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.

What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

How do psychiatric providers diagnose?

Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.

Can I receive psychiatric services online?

Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.

How long does psychiatry last?

Psychiatric services at Thriveworks can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.

Is anxiety treated with psychiatry?

Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

Does Thriveworks accept insurance for psychiatric services?

Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.

Our therapists accept most major insurances. We accept 360+ insurance plans, and offer self-pay options, too.

Christy made me feel comfortable right away. I had been working with another local therapist who I loved, but who is moving and I was nervous about switching. But Christy has been fantastic already just in our first two visits. Would definitely recommend Christy and Thriveworks

Having therapy at your fingertips is a blessing especially when the experts at Thriveworks are so phenomenal. My 11year old and I see the same person who somehow can relate to both of us. I feel renewed and seen in each meeting, my counselor Lakeisha uses several tools and techniques to help me that are easy to implement in daily practice that I also recommend to my friends and family.

I have had an extraordinary experience using Thriveworks. I use the platform for both Individual Counseling and Couples Counseling. My Individual Therapist has revolutionized my ability to cope day to day as well as broach larger big picture issues. It's drastically improved my quality of life. She has and continues to help me move forward toward my personal goals. Our Couples Counselor has helped facilitate clear and living communication between my side and I and has and continues to help us reach our goals and explore and set new ones to improve the quality of our relationship and our day to day lives. I can't say enough good things about them both, and I have and do recommend Thriveworks to anyone who will listen! I'm so grateful for the quality of the counseling, the convenience of the platform, and the support provided.

I can't say enough good things about Elizabeth. She is kind, caring, and deeply professional, but more than that, she feels like a true partner in my therapeutic journey. She listens with genuine empathy, but also challenges me in ways that help me grow. Her encouragement and perspective have been invaluable, and she always reminds me that the progress I've made comes from the work I've put in—which makes the process feel empowering. The headway I've made with her support has been nothing short of amazing. I feel very fortunate to have found her.

I and so grateful to have such a wonderful therapist. And she is Christian based. I feel like she is a complete blessing and the way she listens and responds has brought me so much comfort that has grown into confidence. It's not just some lady who hears me and reads off solutions. It's a compassionate woman who genuinely cares and gives advice and backs it up with biblical references. I see her as family now! I recommend her to everyone.
