Common approaches to Psychologists

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 West Hartford, CT 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 West Hartford 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?

If you are in Hartford County or the surrounding area, consider working with a psychologist at Thriveworks. These professionals have an impressive set of skills and tools to help you work through the challenges you are currently experiencing as well as those you might encounter in the future.

If you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, just call (860) 553-3374. A scheduling specialist will get you all set up.

How Can a Psychologist Help Me?

Thriveworks Counseling psychologists know just how complex the human mind is. They understand that we all encounter different problems, have unique needs, and need individualized treatment. For this reason, your Thriveworks psychologist will get to know you before they design your treatment. Part of this process will mean discussing the challenge you are currently trying to work through, such as:

Symptoms of a mental illness
Relationship or marital issues
Job stress
Family problems
Financial stress
Low self-esteem
Loneliness and isolation
Addiction
Substance abuse
Lack of fulfillment
