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 Lynchburg, VA 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 Lynchburg 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?

In life, mental illness, stress, tough losses, major life changes, and more are common stressors we experience. You don’t need us to tell you that life can be hard.

If you’re interested in living a happier, more successful life, consider working with a psychologist at Thriveworks Lynchburg. We can help you as soon as today or tomorrow. We have both in-person and online appointments available, for your convenience. To schedule, just call or book online.

What Services Can a Psychologist at Thriveworks Lynchburg Offer?

As we just explained, there are many challenges we run into in the course of our lifetime, from relationship issues to stress, tough losses, major life changes, and more. We want to help our clients with whatever mental health problem or life issue they’re dealing with. To do this, we offer a range of services including:

  • Depression therapy
  • Stress management
  • Couples therapy
  • Grief counseling
  • Trauma therapy
  • Child therapy
  • Divorce recovery counseling
  • Family therapy

Your psychologist will work to understand the challenge or challenges you’re facing to then design an effective treatment plan for you. Depending on your needs, they might utilize one of the following services to help you heal or grow well through life.

How Can a Psychologist Help Me?

Psychologists can prove incredibly helpful during stressful or otherwise challenging circumstances, but you also don’t have to have a serious problem on your hands to benefit from working with a psychologist.

The psychologists at Thriveworks Lynchburg can also equip you with tools for dealing with problems that you run into in the future.

For example, if you are prone to stress and you aren’t sure how to manage it, your psychologist can teach you stress management and relaxation techniques like deep breathing, mindful meditation, and more. Your psychologist will listen to your needs as well as your goals for treatment.

Schedule an Appointment at Thriveworks Lynchburg, VA

If you’re ready to schedule an appointment, you can call us today or schedule online to book your session. A scheduling specialist will assist you with the quick and easy process, which includes picking an appointment day and time that works for you!

We have daytime as well as evening and weekend sessions available. Additionally, you can enjoy online counseling opportunities if that is preferred to in-person sessions.

The psychologists at Thriveworks Lynchburg are dedicated to helping people. If you have a life or mental health challenge that you’d like help with or you simply want to set yourself up for greater success, one of our psychologists can assist you.
