Starting Psychologists

What is 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 does Psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Appleton, WI 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.

Is Psychologists conducted in person or online?

How long does Psychologists last?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Appleton 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?

When you’re feeling sick, it’s important to keep in touch with how you feel. While not every cold requires serious medical attention, you understand that when your symptoms last long enough or get severe enough, scheduling a trip to your doctor can help you get better.

Too often, many of us don’t give the same attention to our mental health. Feeling sad from time to time or being stressed about an upcoming event doesn’t necessarily mean you need to seek out help from a professional. But if your mental health issues stick with you for weeks or months, or you find yourself worrying all the time, you might want to consider reaching out to a licensed psychologist.

Psychologists are licensed mental health professionals who focus on diagnosing and treating mental illness. Each psychologist might have a specialty area of practice where they have extra training in treating a specific condition, but all psychologists have extensive training in helping people manage a wide variety of mental health concerns and challenges.

Even if you’re not sure about what you’re going through, our team of mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Appleton, WI is here to provide support. Consider calling our office today to set up your first appointment.

When To Consider Seeing a Psychologist

A licensed psychologist can help you work through mental disorders, difficult changes, emotional disturbances, or other issues. Their expertise allows them to help people dealing with both mild and severe problems, so don’t feel like your issues aren’t “bad enough” to require support.

Some common concerns managed by psychiatrists include:

  • Strained family relationships
  • Troubles with romantic relationships
  • Grief and loss
  • Sustained feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and isolation
  • Prolonged worry or stress
  • Sudden changes in appetite
  • Drastic mood shifts
  • Eating disorders
  • Low self-esteem
  • Substance abuse and addiction
  • Phobias

Your licensed psychologist will provide a comfortable, confidential environment where you can discuss your issues. They’ll work with you to understand your needs and goals so you can live a happier life. If you think working with a psychologist may be right for you, consider reaching out to us at Thriveworks Counseling in Appleton, WI.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Psychologists spend many years earning an advanced degree, which gives them the ability to test for, diagnose, and manage mental illness. They are equipped to apply psychological tests as part of a comprehensive diagnostic process, and they can differentiate between different mental health conditions that manifest with similar symptoms.

Many treatment plans will involve some form of talk therapy. Talk therapy is a provider-guided conversation where you’ll address your problems and learn the skills needed to manage your symptoms. When you start therapy, your psychologist will take the time to get to know more about your concerns, lifestyle, values, and beliefs. Having this information can help them make the most informed diagnosis possible.

What your treatment looks like can depend on a few factors, such as the type of therapy your psychologist is using. Some of the most common types of talk therapy include:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
  • Interpersonal therapy
  • Psychodynamic therapy

The work you do with a licensed psychologist requires introspection and honesty — so it is not always easy. However, it can help you build crucial skills such as:

  • Feeling confident and empowered
  • Clear communication
  • Decision-making strategies
  • Coping mechanisms
  • Stress-reduction techniques

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.
