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.
At Thriveworks, our psychiatric providers help thousands of clients manage their mental health conditions. But a lot of people aren’t familiar with what psychiatry is all about, and they don’t know how it can benefit them. Essentially, psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers have the expertise of both professions wrapped up into one. They help treat and diagnose emotional and behavioral disorders that affect everyday people, like ADHD, depression, or even anxiety.
We’re confident that we’ve got the psychiatric provider that’s right for you at our Pearland, TX office or any of our other 240 locations and counting across the U.S. Just like the rest of our hand-selected mental health professionals, the psychiatric providers at Thriveworks are dedicated to improving the lives of our clients.
What Are the Benefits of Online Psychiatry?
Most Thriveworks clients utilize our online services for their mental health needs. You might be curious about how it works; here are some of the reasons why online psychiatry is so popular:
- There’s no need to travel to a brick-and-mortar office to fill a prescription or to attend a therapy session. As long as you’ve got a solid internet connection and somewhere private to talk with your psychiatric provider, you’re set.
- Sometimes life just gets in the way; if you’re busy, traveling, or even just tired, why make getting the psychiatric services you need harder than necessary? Online sessions grant you lots of flexibility to schedule treatment when it’s needed.
- Our clients have their own lives—some are taking care of elderly relatives or watching children. Online sessions are an easy way for them to find time to prioritize themselves, too.
- Anxiety: Let’s face it—meeting virtually can be a lot less stressful than meeting your provider in person. While we always strive to eliminate some of the stigma surrounding seeking mental health services, online therapy is a go-to resource for making psychiatric treatment as comfortable as possible.
If any of these benefits sound appealing, it could be helpful to consider the reasons why you’ve felt prevented from or resistant to seeking psychiatric services.
How Online Psychiatry Can Benefit Me?
We’ve explained what a psychiatric provider is, and why meeting with them online is so popular. But in addition, it’s also important that you know what a psychiatric provider can treat, and how your client-provider relationship will work. Generally speaking, psychiatrists help clients who are suffering from behavioral or emotional disorders. These include, but aren’t limited to:
- PTSD
- Bipolar Disorder
- OCD
- Anxiety Disorders
- Depression
- ADHD
- Schizophrenia
- Eating disorders
- Alcohol or drug addiction
Psychiatric providers are (quite literally) experts at understanding and diagnosing disorders, ones that are disruptive to the lives of everyday people. But they don’t diagnose these conditions through shaming or judgment. Psychiatrists see their clients’ disorders through a healing-oriented lens. The psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in Pearland, TX, are motivated by cultivating a client-provider relationship that’s focused on the growth and personal progress of everyone that they see.
As we’ve mentioned, psychiatric providers can prescribe helpful medications for their clients and some treatment plans included behavioral or talk therapy sessions in combination with a prescription.
