Starting Psychiatry/medication in Novi

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 Novi, MI 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 Novi 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?

Treating yourself like a friend sometimes means asking for professional help. The licensed psychiatric nurse practitioners at Thriveworks in Novi, MI have the skills, compassion, and experience to support people on their journey toward better mental health. Seeing a psychiatric nurse practitioner is different from seeing your primary care doctor for a mental or behavioral health issue because psychiatrists have specialized training that enables them to effectively diagnose, treat, and help prevent mental conditions. Reach out to Thriveworks in Novi, MI today to get started–we look forward to helping you. 

What Do Psychiatrists Treat? 

Psychiatrists often work with clients who are experiencing any of the following conditions:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety disorders
  • Panic disorder and panic attacks
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
  • Bipolar II disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Personality disorders like narcissistic or borderline personality disorder
  • Specific phobias
  • Eating disorders like anorexia
  • Sleep disorders

Does Online Psychiatry Work?

Online psychiatry sessions work just as well as in-person psychiatry sessions for most mental health conditions. At Thriveworks in Novi, MI, licensed psychiatric nurse practitioners meet with clients over secure telehealth video conferencing software. These virtual sessions make it easier for clients who might have mobility issues or acute psychological/behavioral symptoms that hinder travel. During telepsychiatry sessions, clients can talk about their goals in a home environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Psychiatrists can also do a comprehensive client evaluation through an online session.

I found Thriveworks because several years ago, Blue Cross Blue Shield/Blue Care Network sent out in the mail a program that let their members find in-network therapists. I am extremely grateful that you partnered with them, or at least allowed yourselves to be easily found through them. Dr. Aileen Vazquez is a delight to work with, and you have been an easy service to use & communicate with.
