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 Newton, 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 Newton 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.

Should I See a Psychologist?

Some people feel nervous or intimidated to see a mental health professional. We understand that, but we also see firsthand just how beneficial mental health services can be. You might benefit from working with a psychologist if you’re experiencing one of the following:

  1. A stubborn relationship issue: Coming to an agreement or resolving a problem with a significant other can be really hard. You both bring unique thoughts, feelings, and ideas to the table—of which can conflict with one another. Fortunately, a psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling in Newton, MA can mediate and serve as that unbiased third party to help you get back to a healthy place in your relationship.
  2. Symptoms of a mental illness: Many of us will develop a mental illness at some point in our lifetime, be it depression, anxiety, or another condition. In any case, a psychologist can help you to understand your illness, manage your symptoms, and learn to live happily again.
  3. The death of a loved one: If a friend or family member has recently passed, you’re likely going through a really tough time. The grief process is different for every individual, but it often comes with sadness and sometimes anger, confusion, regret, as well as other difficult emotions. A psychologist can support you during this grief process.

As you can see, the psychologists on our Thriveworks team are able to help you with varying mental health challenges and life issues. If you’re struggling mentally or emotionally in any capacity, please consider reaching out to one of our psychologists or another mental health professional.

My husband and I worked with Emily for a few months and her guidance had really made a difference in our marriage. In fact, my husband was skeptical about couples counseling initially, but really came to value it after a few sessions; the only reason we stopped was because our insurance changed. Both of us found Emily to be a compassionate and fair listener who recommended concrete tools and practices for us that turned out to be quite helpful.
