My go-to approach for helping people is simple; Listen. I prefer listening to my clients more and talking less. It is through listening that I can effectively assess a client's needs.
My approach to prescribing medication is to prescribe the most appropriate medication at the lowest possible dose.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in our sessions when they start to demonstrate improved mood and behavior, show increased engagement in activities they once enjoyed, express a better understanding of their thoughts and feelings, utilize coping strategies learned during sessions in their daily life, and report improved relationships and interactions with others. It’s also a good sign when they show increased self-awareness, take steps towards their goals, and express feelings of hope and optimism about the future.
There are several activities that psychiatric clients can engage in their personal time to supplement their psychiatric treatment. Here are some suggestions:
The goal of the first psychiatry session is to start building a therapeutic relationship and to come up with a treatment plan. Preparing for the first psychiatry session can help make the process smoother and more beneficial. Here are some tips:
Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.
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 Philadelphia, PA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.
Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Philadelphia 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.
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.
Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.
