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 Huntsville, AL 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 Huntsville 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.

It’s completely normal to experience feelings of sadness and anxiety from time to time. These emotions can actually be quite helpful, spurring us to action and reminding us of the people and goals that we find most important. However, those feelings can be problematic when they persist for an extended period of time and start to interfere with your life. Some people experience this after a major life event while others may experience it without any identifiable reason at all.

Whatever your situation may be and no matter how lost you feel, it’s important to know that help is available. If you are struggling with some uncomfortable and persistent feelings or emotions, a psychologist can help get you back on track. Making your mental health a priority is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Mental health professionals can provide a valuable perspective on a wide variety of emotional and behavioral problems.

If you’ve been struggling with mental health issues, consider visiting a mental health counselor at Thriveworks Counseling in Huntsville, AL. Reach out today to get scheduled.

Can I Benefit From Working With a Psychologist?

Some people think that visiting a psychologist is restricted to those instances when you are having a complete breakdown. While psychologists and psychiatrists do treat clients who are deeply affected by depression, anxiety, and other issues, mental health challenges can affect different people in different ways.

Licensed psychologists provide help for a wide variety of issues, including:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Low confidence/self-esteem
  • Substance abuse
  • Phobias
  • Trauma/PTSD
  • Grief
  • Feelings of depersonalization
  • Relationship issues
  • Compulsive behaviors
  • Past abuse

Whatever your situation may be, it’s a good idea to give your symptoms the attention they deserve. If you’ve been considering visiting a psychologist, reach out to make an appointment with our compassionate team at Thriveworks Counseling in Huntsville, AL.

How Can a Psychologist Help Me?

Psychology is the study of the mind and its conscious and unconscious behavior. With vast training in feelings and emotions, psychologists are able to diagnose and treat mental health challenges. Clinical psychologists typically hold a bachelor’s and master’s degree in addition to a doctorate degree. They also spend considerable time studying a wide variety of mental health issues.

Treatment plans may look different for each client since everyone can experience mental health issues in different ways. However, talk therapy forms the basis of much of a clinical psychologist’s work, and is highly effective for many emotional disorders and cases of mental illness.

During talk therapy sessions, a psychologist provides a safe space for clients to begin a dialogue and open up about their struggles. Wielding their knowledge and experience, psychologists can provide clients with a new perspective on their feelings, relationships, and thought processes. While psychological counseling can help to overcome a specific crisis in your life, it can have long-term benefits as well. Many clients leave therapy with a newfound understanding of their lives and coping skills to navigate difficult situations.

I had to stop and leave a review on La-Shieka Brooks! She is such a gifted therapist and a wonderful person. Her diagnostic skills are highly refined, and she is able to put her clients at ease no matter the circumstance. I have worked for her as an intern, and with her as a college, so I can highly recommend her both for her work ethic and her client care.
