Reasons To Pursue Counseling or Therapy
Some questions you may be asking right now are:
- “Are things really so bad that I need professional help?”
- “Will people treat me differently if they know I’m in counseling?”
- “What if I try counseling and it doesn’t help?”
These are all valid questions and concerns. In fact, most clients end up asking similar questions before they decide to seek out help. But many mental health issues can benefit from the guidance of a licensed professional. Of course, you’ll never know if counseling can be of assistance to you unless you try. If you’re facing a difficult life transition or experiencing symptoms of a mental health disorder, consider scheduling an appointment with us at Thriveworks in Grand Prairie, TX.
What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Grand Prairie, we offer:
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?
At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session (for both in-person and online sessions) depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.
Should I Speak With a Board-Certified Psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose, treat, and prevent mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues. Much like a dermatologist, podiatrist, or oncologist, psychiatric providers have a medical degree, which gives them the ability to provide comprehensive treatment and prescribe medications as necessary.
Some mental health issues present physical symptoms while the opposite is also possible — some physical ailments can cause psychological symptoms. Psychiatric professionals are trained to distinguish between the two and rule out any physical conditions before treating your mental health issues.
