At Thriveworks, our psychiatrists 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. A psychiatrist is a licensed therapist; this means that they can conduct behavioral therapy sessions, talk therapy, or another approach in a clinical setting. They’re pretty similar to psychologists in this regard.
However, psychiatrists are special in that they’re also medical doctors. Essentially, psychiatrists 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 psychiatrist 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 psychiatrists at Thriveworks are dedicated to improving the lives of our clients.
Online Psychiatry: More Popular Than Ever
You’ve probably shopped online for clothes, groceries, and household items, right? But what about shopping for a psychiatrist? It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. 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 psychiatrist, 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 therapy grants you lots of flexibility to schedule treatment when it’s needed.
- Our clients have their own lives—some are caretaking elderly relatives or watching children. Online therapy is 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.
