Taking care of your mental health is very important, but it isn’t always easy to do. Busy schedules, demanding jobs, and complicated family issues can make it challenging to stay on top of your mental health. All of this can be complicated by mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Fortunately, support is available for people wanting to focus on their mental health. The team of therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatric professionals at Thriveworks are here to help you tackle your mental health issues and help you maintain better mental health.
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.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Palo Alto, we offer:
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
- Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors (LPCCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.
