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 Orlando, FL 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 Orlando 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.

Orlando, FL Psychiatry – Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatric Providers

Psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, like eating disorders, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental illness, consider talking to an online psychiatric provider at Thriveworks Counseling in Orlando, FL. We’re here for you.

When Is It Time to Talk to a Psychiatrist?

For many people, it’s difficult to ask for help—especially when it comes to our mental health. Stigma surrounds mental health help, and while it is improving, it is still an obstacle for many in receiving the mental health help they need. 

If you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition, it is time to talk to a psychiatrist. These professionals specialize in providing psychiatric care. And here at Thriveworks, our psychiatric providers are devoted to offering a safe, nonjudgmental space for working through personal challenges.

To be more specific, it is time to talk to a psychiatrist if you are experiencing…

  • Anxious or depressive thoughts
  • Addiction thoughts and behaviors
  • Negative side effects from a traumatic experience
  • Symptoms of an eating disorder, like anorexia or bulimia
  • Difficulty sleeping, such as insomnia or another sleep disturbance
  • Thoughts of self-harm
  • Negative side effects from a psychiatric medication

Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers can help you better understand your experience with the above. These are often characteristic of a harmful mental health condition. The good news, though, is that talking to a psychiatrist is taking that first step in managing your condition and living better. 

Psychiatric Treatment: What Does It Look Like?

Everybody’s different. When it comes to mental health treatment, this means that the right approach to treatment can change from one individual to another. However, the most common and effective approaches to psychiatric treatment are therapy and medication.

Some people benefit best from one or the other, while others benefit the most from a combination of therapy and medication. Fortunately, psychiatrists are qualified to provide both. A major difference between psychiatrists and other mental health providers is that they can prescribe and manage medication.

If you can benefit from prescription medication, your Thriveworks psychiatric provider will work to understand your history with medications. They will also be sure to explain exactly how you should take the medication you are prescribed, such as with or without food. Then, they will monitor your progress and make changes to your medication as needed. 

The ultimate goal with therapy and/or medication is to help you live better. You can trust that your psychiatric provider at Thriveworks Counseling in Orlando, FL will stay committed to helping you live better through mental health treatment.

I was resistant my whole life to starting therapy, I thought I could and should power through all things on my own because I am strong. I finally broke down last year and started, after making and canceling a few appointments. Lorna is exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it. I am so thankful that I started therapy when I did because a few months after I had a huge loss in my life that I don't know how I would have managed otherwise. I love the online platform and virtual appointments, I love the choice in providers. I took a long time reading info or bios on providers and finally started with Lorna and truly think she is the best person for me, my personality, and all my perks and quirks.
