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 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.

Is Psychologists conducted in person or online?

How long does Psychologists last?

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?

When there is a blip in our physical health—we notice a new mole, our eyesight gets worse, we suspect a broken bone—we go to the appropriate doctor to get checked out right away. This physical suffering worries us and prompts us to take immediate action. But when there is a blip in our mental health—we feel depressed, our self-esteem is at an all-time low, we struggle to manage work stress—we tend to brush it under the rug. We downplay its importance and insist that we’re okay. But in reality, we aren’t okay; and our mental health deserves the same concern and prompt intervention.

“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.” –Mandy Hale

Sometimes, we’re able to work through the mental and emotional challenges we encounter: For example, our friends provide us with the support we need to heal from a breakup, or we learn to manage abundant work stress with mindful meditation. But in other instances, we need the help of a professional. Psychologists are trained to help people just like you with the everyday psychological problems they encounter, from the aftermath of a breakup to work stress, symptoms of a mental illness, and more. Whatever the challenge, a psychologist can help you overcome it.

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. We’re confident that your time spent with a Thriveworks psychologist will prove beneficial. 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

This list just scratches the surface of what challenges a psychologist can assist their clients with. While the above touch on the common issues seen by a psychologist, there are many other problems that a psychologist can guide and support you through.

So, if you are suffering mentally or emotionally in any way, consider working with one of our psychologists. Not only will you set yourself up for a better tomorrow, but you’ll set yourself up for greater happiness and success for years to come. That’s what happens when you pay attention to and take care of your mental health.
