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 Helotes, TX 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 Helotes 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?

It takes effort to reach out for help and that effort can feel daunting. But many people find that it is far better to take that first step than to continue struggling with mental illness on their own. After all, when your mental health suffers, you may find that it starts to impact other parts of your life, such as your career, relationships, or hobbies.

You don’t have to cope with mental illness by yourself. If you’re ready to break free from the cycle and seek help, the psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Helotes, TX are standing by. We’re ready to help you find stability and fulfillment in your life.

Would a Psychiatrist Be Able To Help Me?

Some people struggle with mental or emotional health issues for much of their lives before they decide to reach out for help. Others may not even realize that their symptoms are the result of a mental illness. If you’re not sure, one of the best things you can do is reach out to preventatively consult with a psychiatrist.

The following may be reasons to seek out a counselor or psychiatric provider:

  • You’re having trouble dealing with major life changes, like a new family or job
  • You’re having thoughts of self-harm
  • You’re feeling unexpected changes in mood or behavior
  • You feel a loss of interest and joy in things that you once loved
  • You’re low on energy
  • You feel alone or isolated
  • You’ve experienced issues with substance abuse
  • You’re suffering from an eating disorder
  • You’re experiencing outbursts of anger or violence

All of these and more could be reasons that psychiatric help is the right move for you. If you wish to talk to one of our licensed psychiatric providers, contact Thriveworks in Helotes, TX and we can set up an appointment to find the best way to help you.

What Does Psychiatric Treatment Involve?

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating the symptoms and effects of mental and emotional disorders. Treatment varies depending on each individual’s needs, so it is common for a psychiatrist to initially consult with a new client to learn more about their background and mental state. From there, multiple methods of treatment are available and a psychiatrist can also prescribe medications if that is helpful for your condition. Clients and psychiatric providers work together to build an understanding of how these patterns can be subverted or made to work in the client’s favor to improve their life.

At Thriveworks in Helotes, TX, our psychiatrists have years of experience working with those living with mental illness. We want to help you take charge of your mental health and aid in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of any issues you may be experiencing.
