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 Tallahassee, 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 Tallahassee 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?

The licensed psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Tallahassee, FL use compassion and expertise to help people with the process of naming and navigating their mental health conditions.

Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers diagnose, treat, and help prevent a wide range of mental disorders and their symptoms through medication and evidence-based psychotherapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). If you suspect that you might be suffering from a mental health condition, turn to someone who can truly help: an exceptional psychiatric provider at Thriveworks. Reach out today to schedule your first psychiatry session.

Is Medication an Effective Treatment?

Psychotropic medication is one of many resources that mental health providers have for treating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. A depressed client might respond well to an antidepressant like a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), but they may also respond well to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or a hybrid approach. It all depends on the client’s goals and physiology. 

Medication treatment works for many psychiatric clients at Thriveworks in Tallahassee, FL, but they are by no means the only remedy for psychological and behavioral symptoms. Psychiatrists and other mental health providers also have a number of other therapeutic resources at their disposal, such as CBT, person-centered therapy (PCT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and more.

At What Point Should Someone Seek Help for Mental Illness?

If you are in distress and are having difficulty maintaining your usual level of daily functioning, it may be time to book an appointment with a licensed psychiatric provider. Certain symptoms can signal the presence of a mental health condition. For example: 

  • Sleep disturbances, which can indicate a mood disorder
  • Appetite changes, which can indicate depression
  • Difficulty focusing, which can indicate attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Racing heart, sweating, and hyperventilation, which can indicate panic disorder or another anxiety disorder

I have bounced around between counselors and therapists for a few years now. I found Thriveworks and Doc Hill and I'm very happy with my new team. I finally feel comfortable speaking to someone again without fear or judgment. He understands and truly wants to help.
