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 Hattiesburg, MS 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 Hattiesburg 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?

Oliver got into a car accident on a rainy day more than a year ago. He emerged mostly unscathed with a few scrapes and bruises. No one else was hurt, and a mechanic fixed the dents in his passenger door within a week of the incident.

But on overcast days, Oliver struggles to drive to work. He finds himself shaking as he puts on his seatbelt or signals to switch lanes on the highway. When someone mentions the name of the intersection or he passes the scene of the crash, he vividly relives the moment he lost control of his vehicle. Additionally, he can’t talk about what happened without getting nauseous.

His partner begins to pick up on Oliver’s behaviors and suggests that Oliver still has trauma from that day. After some research, Oliver decides to contact a psychologist. During their time together, Oliver’s psychologist diagnoses him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PTSD.

At the recommendation of his mental health provider, Oliver uses coping strategies like breathing techniques and journaling to manage his trauma and predict upsetting triggers. As a result, he has less trouble driving in the rain and can speak to loved ones about the crash more openly.

Do Oliver’s problems feel familiar? Are you dealing with the intense emotional effects of a situation that appears out of your control? Has your life been interrupted by symptoms of a mood disorder like anxiety or depression?

If so, you’re not alone. Millions of people experience challenging emotional and behavioral issues across the globe. The good news is that a licensed psychologist can help you understand these complex and disruptive feelings.

At Thriveworks Counseling in Hattiesburg, MS, we care deeply about your mental well-being. Call our office or use our online scheduling tool to set up an appointment with a licensed psychologist.

Can Working With a Psychologist Help Me?

Life can throw curveballs at all of us at the worst times. For example, you might find yourself in an unusually stressful work meeting, unable to sleep because of anxiety, or facing a sudden loss. Many people consult a mental health professional about serious concerns like these every day.

However, mental health services are not reserved just for people with severe mental illness. Clinical psychologists regularly help clients work through temporary setbacks and mild to moderate mental health issues. Psychology is a diverse field that encompasses topics like cognitive function, emotional wellness, mental disorders, depression, and environmental stressors.

Working with a psychologist may help if you’ve experienced:

  • Relationship issues
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Dissatisfaction with life
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Chronic illness
  • Sudden changes in appetite or other habits
  • Grief or loss
  • Feeling directionless
  • Traumatic events
  • Low self-esteem
  • Major life changes

Psychological Treatment: What Can It Involve?

Psychologists are mental health professionals who diagnose and treat emotional and psychological concerns. They attend years of schooling and usually work in a specialty area, such as developmental psychology, clinical psychology, or sports psychology. Providers are equipped to help people who, for example, live with chronic illness, frequently deal with stressful situations, or have lost interest in things they used to enjoy.

You can expect a licensed psychologist to ask questions about your life, including past trauma and your daily emotional state. These questions will allow them to identify pressing issues, offer individualized coping techniques, and diagnose mental illness.

There are many benefits to working with a psychologist, including:

  • New perspectives on long-term problems
  • Creative ways to cope with environmental stressors
  • Improved mental health
  • A better understanding of mental illness
  • Ability to move forward after traumatic events
  • Strategies for facing new challenges
  • Stronger communication skills

No two clients are the same, so treatment plans will cater to each person’s expressed goals and desires. If you want to reach out for mental health support, consider setting up an appointment with a psychologist from Thriveworks Counseling in Hattiesburg, MS.
