Starting Psychiatry/medication

Does Thriveworks offer psychiatric services?

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.

How does psychiatry work?

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Toms River, NJ specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

What is the difference between a mental health therapist & psychiatrist?

A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.

What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

How do psychiatric providers diagnose?

Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.

Can I receive psychiatric services online?

Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.

How long does psychiatry last?

Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Toms River can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.

Is anxiety treated with psychiatry?

Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

Does Thriveworks accept insurance for psychiatric services?

Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.

Need more help deciding?

Life comes with a fair share of ups and downs, and there’s no telling what each day will bring. Major life changes, sudden events, or chronic illness can turn your world upside down and cause unexpected shifts in your mental health. Losing a loved one, career transitions, and other challenges can make you feel like you have little or no control over your thoughts or emotions.

If you feel like you are on a mental or emotional rollercoaster, a mental health professional can help you regain stability and balance in your life. At Thriveworks, our board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners can help you effectively cope with symptoms and keep them from interfering with your life.

When you’re ready to prioritize your mental health, consider working with the licensed professionals at Thriveworks in Toms River, NJ. Call our scheduling team or book online to get started with a licensed psychiatric provider today.

What Disorders Do Psychiatrists Treat?

Psychiatrists are highly trained to diagnose and treat a wide variety of mental health issues including:

  • Depression or anxiety disorders
  • PTSD and other stress disorders
  • Anger management issues
  • Addiction or substance abuse
  • Personality or mood disorders
  • Trouble dealing with major life changes
  • Eating disorders
  • Learning disabilities

Sometimes it can be difficult to know what has caused a change in your thoughts or behaviors. A psychiatrist or another psychiatric provider can help determine the source of your mental health issues and help you overcome them.

What Can I Expect With Psychiatric Treatment?

Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers are equipped to diagnose and treat a wide variety of mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues. They approach mental health issues comprehensively, assessing the many possible contributing factors in order to rule out any other possible medical conditions. They may review your medical history, your mental faculties, your personality, and your environment.

They can then design a treatment plan unique to you, focusing on your symptoms and goals for treatment. Your psychiatrist may prescribe medications if needed, and guide you through coping mechanisms to help manage your issues long term.

If you’re experiencing overwhelming symptoms and want to make a change, consider working with a licensed professional. The psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks in Toms River, NJ can help you understand your mental health issues and give you the tools you need to stay one step ahead of them.
