What is your go-to approach in sessions?

When my client's follow up with me I want to know how they have been doing since the last time we met and if there were any changes. My approach is to be available as a psychiatric resource. We are living in a technological time where consumers have access to fast information but that information still has to be analyzed and applied. I enjoy helping people see things clearly and manage more simply.

What is your typical approach to prescribing medications?

I take a more holistic approach when it comes to prescribing medications because there are so many influences that can impact a person's mental health. I include my client in on the decision making process when prescribing medication. I find when my client's know the answer to the question “why should I take this medication?” They feel more in control which helps them get on the path to feeling better.

Do you teach clients any therapeutic tools in sessions?

I know the client is making progress when they appear happier, are eating and sleeping better, their social interactions are improving, and they are getting on with pursuing their personal goals.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement psychiatric treatment?

Client's usually benefit from improving on their diet, incorporating some type of exercise routine pattern, and engaging in a hobby.

What should someone do to prepare for starting psychiatric care?

To prepare for your first psychiatric session put together a list of any previous mental health diagnosis you may have received in the past, as well as, medications previously prescribed. If available know your family history of any mental health diagnosis. Be up to date with your primary care provider wellness check. The rest is going to be easy.

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 Cherry Hill, NJ 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 Cherry Hill 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.

What Will My Psychiatric Treatment Involve?

When you start working with a psychiatrist, they’ll begin by assessing your mental health from a scientific approach. There are many factors your psychiatrist will take into consideration as they are contemplating a diagnosis and treatment plan, including your personality, emotional state, past experiences, family history, and environment.

Once other medical concerns have been ruled out and a diagnosis has been reached, you can expect your psychiatrist to create a personalized treatment plan to overcome and resolve whatever mental health issues you may be facing. Your treatment plan may include a combination of different forms of therapy, prescription medication, lifestyle adjustments, and other therapeutic techniques. These techniques might include home practices like meditation that can help control your symptoms and prevent relapses.

★★☆☆☆
I initially had a fantastic experience with Thriveworks, and I was thrilled with the service they provided. My journey to find the right therapist was successful, and I happily recommended Thriveworks to friends and family. However, my positive experience took a turn when I discovered that the therapist I connected with does not accept my insurance. Embarking on the path to seek help required a lot of courage on my part, and I fully committed to the process. In just 4 or 5 sessions, I developed a strong connection with my therapist. Unfortunately, the realization that she could no longer continue due to insurance constraints has left me feeling disappointed. Now, I find myself having to start the therapeutic journey all over again, and this has diminished my overall satisfaction with the service.
