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 Lexington, MA 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.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Lexington 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 term “psychologist” can sound intimidating, but it represents a mental health professional who is simply focused on helping you! These individuals have dedicated time and hard work to develop the skills needed to help you work through your biggest (and smallest) problems. They’re able to assist and support as you work your way toward a happier, more successful life.

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” –William James

What Do Psychologists Do?

Psychologists complete years of graduate school and training to then gain licensure and be able to provide clients with a number of mental health services, which include therapy and psychological testing. A psychologist’s main goal is to help people effectively address challenges, especially mental health problems and other major life issues. Let’s talk a little bit about what these challenges and their corresponding treatment plans might look like:

  1. Mental health problems: Mental illnesses are probably more common than you think. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 1 in 5 adults in the US lives with a mental illness. These illnesses, otherwise known as mental health disorders, include depression, anxiety, OCD, anorexia, PTSD, and many others. A psychologist can provide you with psychological testing, as needed, to determine a diagnosis. They can also provide you with treatment for your disorder, of which might include psychotherapy, medication, or both.
  2. Other life issues: Psychologists can also help clients who are experiencing other major life issues, including relationship issues like jealousy, miscommunication, or abuse; stress management; feelings of worthlessness or lack of fulfillment; family conflicts; low self-esteem. The list goes on. Again, they can provide you with treatment for your specific problem, of which will likely involve psychotherapy. Your Thriveworks psychologist will create a personalized plan based on your needs.

If you’re struggling with a mental health problem or another life issue, consider talking to a psychologist about it. Not only can they offer a diagnosis for a potential mental illness, but they can help you break your problem down into manageable pieces and equip you with the necessary tools for working through it. You can start working with a Thriveworks psychologist in Lexington, MA as soon as today.

They assess each individual’s specific problem and needs, which then informs course of treatment.

I have a marriage counselor and individual counselor and I think they are both great at what they do and are extremely helpful.

It took a few therapists for me to find one that really understood me and worked well with me. I wish that was standard practice, to let new patients know it often takes time, and that they shouldn't feel bad about trying a new therapist to find someone who really gets them.
