Starting Psychiatry/medication in Westborough

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 Westborough, MA 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 Westborough 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.

Westborough, MA Psychiatry – Meet With Board-Certified Psychiatric Providers

Psychiatrists and nurse practitioners are mental health professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. Medication is commonly used alongside counseling and therapy to help clients achieve greatest overall wellbeing. At Thriveworks Westborough in Worcester, our online psychiatrists and nurse practitioners make a huge difference in their clients’ lives. If psychiatry and/or medication sounds like something you could benefit from and would like to get started with, reach out to our office today.

Why Would Someone Need Medication Management?

Medication can help people with a range of mental health conditions, helping to lessen their symptoms, often while they work through their particular problem in therapy. Psychiatrists and nurse practitioners have the training, education, and knowledge to accurately determine what medication is right for you, how often you should take it, how much you should take, and if you should or shouldn’t eat when taking your medication. Prior to starting a new prescription, be sure to discuss with your provider…

  1. Any medications you are currently taking
  2. Any allergies or issues you’ve had with past medications or supplements
  3. Any questions you have about starting a new medication
  4. Full understanding of how much and when you should take your medication

If you have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder, it’s important that you seek treatment. Or, if you have been experiencing signs and symptoms of a mental health disorder, it’s important that you get an accurate diagnosis from a mental health professional. At Thriveworks Westborough Counseling, our psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose and treat many different conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. Regardless of your situation, we can help.
