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 Meridian, ID 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 Meridian 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.

If you’ve been dealing with anxiety, depression, or another mental health issue for a long time, it’s easy to lose perspective.

When Should Someone See a Psychologist?

Many people can benefit from seeing a clinical psychologist, whether they’re in the midst of a crisis or have long been dealing with feelings of unhappiness or low self-worth. No matter what your particular mental health concerns are, a psychologist can provide invaluable insight to help you overcome many of life’s obstacles.

Our clinical psychologists help with a wide range of mental health issues, including:

  • Divorce or separation
  • Lack of intimacy or other relationship issues
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Major life transitions
  • Career issues
  • Family issues
  • Substance abuse
  • Loss of a loved one
  • Anger management
  • Phobias
  • Problems with mental clarity and decision making

How Can a Psychologist Help Me?

Psychologists can diagnose and treat a wide variety of mental health issues. By studying and conducting research into the impact of biological, social, and environmental factors on thinking and emotions, psychologists can offer a helpful perspective on many of life’s common challenges.

A psychologist typically employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or other forms of talk therapy as a means of treating mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. CBT in particular is centered on analyzing patterns of thinking and the effect they have on your feelings and behaviors. Negative thinking patterns can contribute to many emotional and behavioral problems, and can also impact your self-esteem. Fortunately, they can be unlearned and replaced with more beneficial ones with the help of a trained professional.

The problem-solving skills and coping mechanisms learned from CBT and other forms of talk therapy can have a wide variety of applications throughout your life. After therapy, clients may find they have improved communication skills, can anticipate and better deal with common stressors, and make healthier choices in their careers and relationships.

I have been meeting with Matt for almost 2 years now, and he's helped me get in touch with myself and understand who I am, as well as provided great tools to apply to my life for future improvement and coping. I have benefited greatly from my regular meetings with Matt and I can't speak highly enough about him as a counselor and psychological mentor.
