Life isn’t always as stable as we’d like it to be. Change and challenges can come when we least expect them. Learning to navigate challenging times is a part of being human and often helps us grow, even when things are difficult.

However, navigating stressful periods or situations is not always something we have to do alone. At some point in their life, most people learn that they can’t do everything by themselves. For some problems, this can mean leaning on a friend or loved one. For other issues, this can mean reaching out to a mental health professional like a licensed psychologist.

Psychologists practice psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy. They can help you work through times of mental or emotional distress, whether you’ve been dealing with it for years or it’s started more recently. Our team at Thriveworks Counseling in Grand Prairie, TX, is here to help you improve your mental health so you can feel empowered and capable. Call our office today to set up your first appointment.

Why Should I Consult With a Psychologist?

Working with a mental health professional is not always an easy decision. When considering reaching out to a psychologist, people frequently ask themselves questions like: Is this worth the cost? Do I have the time for this? What if therapy doesn’t help?

Simply raising the questions can be enough to stop some people from ever getting the help they might need. It’s important to know that psychologists have extensive training in understanding and treating mental, emotional, and behavioral problems. This can include chronic mental illness or more short-term stressful situations, like acclimating to a new job.

Psychologists are qualified and capable of helping you work through a variety of challenges, such as:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Trauma or abuse
  • Family dysfunction
  • Relationship tensions
  • Sleep problems
  • Anger and stress
  • Children’s behavioral issues
  • Eating disorders
  • Low-self esteem
  • Adjusting to a move, job, or other life change
  • Grief and loss
  • Phobias
  • Perfectionism

Psychologists can help guide you through many different situations. To feel most comfortable, you can always ask questions about your treatment before you decide to commit to your provider. This can include questions about their approach, how they gauge progress, and how you can check in on that progress.

You can also find psychologists that practice in a specific specialty area. For instance, some providers work primarily with certain populations, like LGBTQ+ individuals or older adults.

Licensed psychologists can create a comfortable space for you to discuss your issues and find relief. Consider calling a psychologist from Thriveworks Counseling in Grand Prairie, TX, today.

How Psychology Appointments Work

Psychological treatment typically involves psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy. In your initial sessions, your psychologist will take the time to hear about your concerns and reasons for coming to therapy. They then might administer psychological tests or questionnaires to assess the nature of your mental health concerns. Getting to know you allows them to develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs and personality.

Though you will be following a treatment plan, your sessions will not usually have a rigid schedule. Some weeks your provider might have certain activities they want you to do, and other weeks, you might discuss an issue that has been on your mind. In some sessions, you might have a big issue you want to talk about, and in other sessions, you might not have anything in particular you want to discuss. Both of these cases can give your psychologist valuable insight into your patterns of thought, which can help lead to significant changes.

It’s important to remember that you’re learning to change the way you think about yourself when working with a psychologist. Like any sort of valuable change, sometimes the work you do in sessions is exciting, and sometimes it is uncomfortable.

Having patience with yourself as you work through complicated emotions is crucial to remaining willing to continue therapy. This willingness can ultimately help you come away from your treatment with benefits including:

  • Problem-solving skills
  • Higher self-esteem
  • Better self-awareness
  • Improved communication abilities
