What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?
At Thriveworks, we take most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session (for both in-person and online sessions) depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.
Licensed Psychiatrists: Are They Right for Me?
Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who attend medical school and earn a medical degree. Their medical training helps them diagnose, treat, and manage mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues for their clients. They understand the connection between bodily health and mental health, helping them look at issues comprehensively and treat each person holistically.
Psychiatric professionals are doctors, so they can prescribe medication for their clients. Not all treatment plans will include a prescription, but some medications can reduce the severity of certain symptoms and make them more manageable. Prescription medication is sometimes used in combination with talk therapy to help clients manage their mental health issues.
Our psychiatric providers work with their clients using convenient online therapy options. If you want to speak with a psychiatric nurse practitioner, consider calling us at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Houston today.
