Starting Psychiatry/medication in Kingwood

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 Kingwood, 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 Kingwood 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 Does a Psychiatrist Do?

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health conditions. At Thriveworks in Kingwood, TX, psychiatric providers can assess clients for a wide variety of psychological and behavioral issues, including the following:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Panic disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD)
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Bipolar disorder (manic depression)
  • Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD)
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Personality disorders
  • Specific phobias
  • Anorexia and bulimia
  • Insomnia
  • Behavioral problems

Psychiatric providers often use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as a guide to exploring complex symptoms and figuring out the most effective ways to treat mental health conditions.

Are Psychiatrists Primary Care Doctors?

Psychiatric providers are not generally considered primary care doctors because their expertise is more specialized. Psychiatrists can, however, prescribe medications to clients who might benefit from pharmacological interventions. After all, they are medical doctors (MDs) who graduated from medical school. The licensed psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Kingwood, TX use a range of diagnostic tools to treat their clients. At an initial, lengthy consultation, a psychiatric provider and a client might do the following:

  • Discuss therapy goals
  • Discuss cognitive and behavioral symptoms
  • Talk comprehensively about mental health conditions and psychoeducate the client where information is lacking
  • Bring up lifestyle questions about substance use, diet, exercise, sleep, etc.
  • Take a full medical history
  • Conduct psychological tests
  • Take a family medical history to explore genetic factors that might contribute to mental health 
  • Evaluate the client’s core relationships, support system, and home life (psychosocial evaluation)

How Does a Psychiatrist Treat Anxiety?

Treatment plans for specific mental health conditions can vary widely depending on client feedback, the psychiatrist’s therapeutic approach, and the severity of the client’s symptoms. To treat anxiety, a psychiatric provider at Thriveworks in Kingwood, TX will first do a full evaluation of the client. Then the psychiatric provider and client will work on developing a treatment plan together. For someone with moderate anxiety, a psychiatrist might recommend trying any of the following approaches:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Medication treatment
  • Talk therapy
  • Medication and psychotherapy combined
  • Lifestyle changes, like increased exercise 
  • Psychosocial interventions
  • Holistic approaches like mindfulness or meditation
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) 
  • Referral to a social worker or long term counselor
  • Referral to a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT)

I felt heard and received an explanation for all of my thoughts and feelings. It was very appreciated. I also liked the background. It made me feel more comfortable and at home. It didn't feel scary or too serious. I like a relaxed and fun environment, and that is what Miguel's setting was set up to be.
