Psychiatry/medication FAQs

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 Nashville, TN 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 Nashville 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?

Our mental health is super important to our overall well being, whether we realize it or not. And our daily activities and interactions can affect our mental health, positively or negatively. For example, a fight with a loved one can leave us feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or all of the above. On the other hand, a night of spending quality time with a loved one can leave us feeling happy, fulfilled, and inspired.

In a nutshell, it’s important that we address any difficult emotions that arise from negative interactions and events to keep our mental health intact. We must also monitor and confront symptoms of mental illness and other mental health challenges. That said, we can’t always do this by ourselves. Oftentimes, we need a little help from a mental health professional.

There are mental health professionals who specialize in different areas. Psychiatrists specialize in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health disorders. If you are experiencing symptoms or you’re going through a rough patch and you think that your mental health is at risk, a psychiatrist is a great person to talk to.

If you’re in Nashville, TN or the surrounding area, consider reaching out to our Thriveworks Counseling office in Nashville for psychiatry services. We can set you up with one of our online psychiatrists who can help you from the comfort and convenience of home, over the phone or live video chat.

Who Can Benefit from Working with a Psychiatrist?

As we said earlier, psychiatrists specialize in helping people with mental disorders. They assist these individuals every step of the way, as they can assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent the worsening of a given mental health condition.

Therefore, psychiatrists can help many different people who are suffering mentally or emotionally. For example, they can help…

  • Someone who is feeling depressed or anxious
  • Someone who feels emotionally exhausted and out of touch with reality
  • Someone who is experiencing high levels of stress
  • Someone who has just experienced a traumatic event
  • Someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one
  • Someone who is looking for medication management

Psychiatrists are in a unique position to offer medication management to their clients. In other words, they can prescribe psychiatric medication and monitor their clients while they take their medication, ensuring that they take it properly and experience positive benefits. Other mental health professionals are not qualified to offer this form of mental health treatment.

If you have been diagnosed with or you’re seeking a diagnosis for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, or another mental health disorder, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling. We can pair you with an online psychiatrist who can offer the assistance and support that you need to move forward.
