Starting Treatment With a Psychologist in Providence

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 Providence, RI 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 Providence 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.

Roles and Responsibilities of Psychologists

Psychologists are mental health professionals who help their clients understand and manage their mental health issues. They offer a safe space for talking about one’s thoughts and feelings and bring skills and techniques to the table that help us heal, grow, and live better.

Here are some common functions of a licensed psychologist:

  • Collect necessary information to understand their clients
  • Utilize questionnaires and administer other psychological tests
  • Help their clients better understand themselves and their problems
  • Work with their clients to help them improve their current mental state
  • Create and implement a plan for treatment, often utilizing psychotherapy
  • Work with other mental health professionals (like psychiatrists) to ensure their client receives the necessary treatments

Psychologists work closely with their clients, typically using therapy to understand and help them. They ask their clients to open up about their experiences, then piece together how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect one another and the individual as a whole.

What Types of Psychotherapy Are There?

If you’re considering working with a psychologist, you might wonder what type of therapy you might receive. There are different types designed to help with various issues. For example:

  • Family therapy: Designed for family needs
  • Depression therapy
  • Anxiety therapy
  • Couples therapy
  • Child therapy
  • Trauma therapy
  • PTSD counseling
  • Grief counseling
  • Marriage counseling
  • Stress management counseling

While psychologists cannot prescribe medication, they work closely with psychiatrists who can ensure you receive the necessary treatment to get better.

The openness and flexibility of the scheduling, as well as the support received from the provider. She really listens and helps me sort through my thoughts even when I don't even know how I feel. It also helps me realize the connections to things that happen now are triggers for what happened in the past and how to work through it and be present in my feelings.
