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 Memphis, TN 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 Memphis 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.
What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced thus far in your life? The answer to this question can vary greatly from one person to the next. It might center around grief, after the loss of a loved one. Or, it might be related to a major life transition, like a big move to a new city.
Consider the following narratives:
John’s best friend Luke was diagnosed with cancer a few years back. It was a shock to Luke, but it hit John the hardest. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his childhood best friend who has always been right by his side. At first, the chemo worked and John was relieved. But the cancer came back stronger and unfortunately, Luke didn’t make it. Today, John grapples with grief. He can’t figure out how to keep on living with his best friend.
Jenna planned on living in her hometown for the rest of her life. She wanted her kids to grow up in the same small town. Unfortunately, though, life didn’t go as planned. Her husband’s job required them to move across the country. Jenna tried to be excited about the new opportunity and faked a smile for a while. But when she slipped into depression, she couldn’t fake it anymore.
When we go through these tough seasons in life, we often try to get through it on our own. Eventually, we might open up to a friend or a family member. But oftentimes, we fail to talk to the person who can really help: a mental health professional.
Mental health professionals are experts at helping people through these very challenges. And psychiatrists possess additional certifications, training, and experience to provide psychiatric care. They can help with grief and loss, major life transitions, depression, and other challenges.
If you’re in a difficult place, like John or Jenna, consider scheduling an appointment with a psychiatrist at Thriveworks in Memphis, TN. Our psychiatrists offer virtual care, which makes this service more convenient and accessible. You can set up your first session by calling (901) 620-2124.
You might be thinking, “What are psychiatrists?” Psychiatrists are simply medical doctors who practice psychiatry, which is devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. These disorders are often related to unhealthy or abnormal changes in mood, behavior, or cognition. Here are a few:
Some psychiatrists receive additional training in a certain area of psychiatry, be it addiction, child and adolescent psychiatry, or geriatric psychiatry. These professionals mostly use medication to treat mental disorders, but they are qualified and trained to offer other forms of treatment, too.
You might also be wondering how (or if) psychiatrists differ from other mental health professionals, like counselors and psychologists. The biggest difference is that psychiatrists have medical training that allows them to prescribe medication, unlike other professionals in most states.
Often, psychiatrists and psychologists work together to treat their clients and help them obtain the best care possible. For example, an individual might meet with their psychiatrist every month or two for medication management and then work with a psychologist every week in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
