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 Peoria, AZ 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 Peoria 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.

Can I Benefit From Working With a Psychologist?

Some people who suffer from anxiety or depression are still able to go to work and maintain their relationships. But just because these people are high-functioning doesn’t mean they aren’t struggling to make it through the day. No matter the severity of your symptoms, a psychologist can offer unique insight and customize a treatment plan to help get you through difficult times.

Some of the most common reasons people visit a psychologist include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Major life transitions
  • Family issues
  • Relationship issues or divorce
  • Substance abuse and addiction
  • Loss of a loved one
  • PTSD or trauma
  • Career uncertainties
  • Eating disorders

If you think you’d benefit from the help of a mental health professional, consider reaching out to a licensed psychologist at Thriveworks Counseling in Peoria, AZ.

What Does Psychological Treatment Involve?

Talk therapy forms the basis of much of a psychologist’s work. By providing a safe and confidential space to voice thoughts and emotions, psychologists help their clients recognize how their thought patterns may be influencing their behaviors and emotions on a daily basis.

You may be repeating the same phrases in your head over and over but have simply become accustomed to it and don’t even notice anymore. Or, you may have developed a warped interpretation of events in your life that is impacting the way you feel or worsening your symptoms. If you tell yourself repeatedly that you will fail at something or that things will never get better, it is likely to affect the way you live your life.

Verbalizing these thoughts is often the first step towards healing and making healthy changes in your life. With the guidance of a licensed psychologist, you can learn to adjust your thought patterns and develop coping skills to improve your life. Clinical psychologists can also offer self-care tips for dealing with stressful situations, boosting your self-esteem, or managing anxiety. You may learn relaxation techniques, journaling and emotion-tracking activities, or meditation methods. As a result, clients often experience long-term benefits from psychology sessions, including a better understanding of themselves and improved communication skills.

I have worked with Melissa in a professional capacity and have watched her increased ability to work with clients with many different needs. During one phase of Melissa's professional experience, she lead a group therapy practice. Many people traveled great distances in the metropolitan Phoenix area, specifically to attend her group. Melissa is insightful and organized as she compassionately helps guide clients toward their ultimate goal of recovery and health.

I am a colleague of Melissa Bowen's and she is a warm and compassionate counselor who is very passionate about her calling. I believe that we are called by God to share our God-given gifts with others and Melissa's gifts are her ability to meet her clients where they are in life and to offer insight and empathy and to provide guidance through difficult and sometimes painful situations and to help them realize that they all have worth and value in God's eyes and are accepted no matter what our circumstances.
