Anger, Coping Skills, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, +1 more Everyone needs guidance at some point in his or her life. Perhaps you’re going through something similar to one of these hypothetical scenarios:
- A close relative has passed away and the grief is almost too much to bear
- After a recent move to a different city, your once happy-go-lucky child is having a difficult time adjusting to the new school, teachers, and classmates
- You want to get married, but want to be as prepared as possible for the commitment
- Your job is unfulfilling, but no other opportunities have presented themselves
- Your spouse has been unfaithful, and you’re not sure what to do
- An activity you once used as a stress reliever has become a serious addiction
Your situation may not resemble anything from the above list, but you undoubtedly have your own challenges and goals. You don’t need to face these things alone. The professional counselors, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Austin have experienced great success in helping people living through similar situations.
What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
Could I Benefit from Therapy?
Each month, thousands of patients experience the benefits of working with a Thriveworks mental health professional. They can teach you how to:
- Set and achieve goals
- Work through challenging relationships and other life issues
- Seek inner strength and personal growth
While there is certainly a large percentage of already successful people who seek counseling to reach increased levels of personal growth, a lot of people trying to find a counselor or coach do so as a result of some emotional anguish. If you’re in pain, you don’t want to call the office after office leaving voicemails to try to find someone who has current session openings and accepts your insurance.
If you want care and guidance immediately, call us. We can get you scheduled in an in-person or online counseling therapy appointment today. Most first-time Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Austin clients meet with their therapist within 48 hours of initiating a conversation.
