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 Houston, TX 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 Houston 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?

The psychologist Carl Rogers once stated, “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” It’s funny how that works, isn’t it? We often spend energy fighting who we are when self-acceptance is so much more rewarding in the long run. But how do you go from a place of insecurity and self-sabotage to a place of self-love and mental harmony? It’s often a lifelong pursuit. But exploring these issues with a clinical or counseling psychologist can save you a lot of time and energy on your journey.

The licensed psychologists at Thriveworks in Kingwood, TX use compassion, meaningful insights, and expertise to help clients realize their full potential. This might mean helping someone recover from the symptoms of depression. It might mean listening empathetically as someone talks about losing a loved one. It might mean helping two people who love each other repair a damaged relationship. Whatever your positive mental health goals are, Thriveworks mental health providers want to help you achieve them.

How Are Psychologists and Psychiatrists Different? 

Psychologists and psychiatrists are both specialists in the mental health field, but they have different training. A psychiatrist graduated from medical school with an MD degree, while a psychologist usually has a doctorate degree like a PhD or a PsyD. Psychiatrists focus on diagnosing, treating, and helping to prevent mental health conditions. A psychologist’s scope is a little broader, focusing on mental health in general. Lastly, a psychiatrist can prescribe medication and manage medication in the short- or long-term. Psychologists can refer clients to psychiatrists or psychiatric nurses, but they cannot themselves prescribe medication. 

At Thriveworks in Kingwood, TX, clients might also encounter these additional mental health providers:

  • Licensed professional counselors (LPCs), who do solution-focused counseling.
  • Psychotherapists, who hold psychotherapy (talk therapy) sessions.
  • Licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), who provide counseling services and guidance for social services.
  • Licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), who provide relationship counseling for couples and families.

They can also use these same techniques to help clients flourish no matter what issue they face. It’s not necessary to be in crisis for therapy to be effective. Common psychological approaches include the following:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)

What Is the Focus of Cognitive Psychology?

Cognitive psychology looks at the internal mental processes that contribute to our feelings and behavior. Cognitive psychology can include the studies of attention, memory, perception, reasoning, creativity, language use, and problem solving. Some cognitive psychologists see the human brain as an information processing machine, like a computer. CBT takes advantage of all the research psychologists have done on how humans think by applying it to solving problems in our lives.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
