Starting Psychiatry/medication in Woodridge

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 Woodridge, IL 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 Woodridge 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, board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks in Woodridge, IL have the expertise, insights, and compassion to help clients who are experiencing a mental health condition. Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers specialize in psychological and behavioral health. But seeing a psychiatrist doesn’t mean that you are mentally ill. Complex factors like environment and genetics can influence one’s mental health and there are wide variations in healthy functioning.

If you suspect that you have a mental health condition and need a qualified professional to address your concerns, Thriveworks can help match you to an exceptional psychiatric nurse practitioner today. Reach out to schedule your first appointment. 

What Happens in a Psychiatry Session?

In an initial psychiatry session at Thriveworks in Woodridge, IL, the doctor will conduct a full evaluation of the client. This evaluation might include the following elements:

  • A comprehensive discussion of therapy goals
  • A discussion of symptoms, both cognitive, emotional, and behavioral
  • Psychological tests 
  • Lifestyle questions about substance use, nutrition, exercise, sleep, etc.
  • A full medical history
  • Family medical history 
  • A full psychosocial assessment of a person’s core relationships, support system, and home life

After this initial evaluation, a client and a psychiatric provider can begin developing an effective treatment plan. This plan can change over time based on client feedback and responses.

Schedule Psychiatry at Thriveworks in Woodridge, IL
