Starting Psychiatry/medication

What is psychiatry?

Psychiatry is a branch of medicine that focuses specifically on the medical and psychotherapeutic treatment of mental conditions and disorders.

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 Pflugerville, TX specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

Does psychiatry deal with anxiety?

Psychiatrists are among the mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication, and they are also capable of offering therapeutic treatment for anxiety as well, though not every psychiatric professional offers therapy. Medication management can be offered via in-person or online psychiatry.

What is the difference between a mental health therapist and psychiatrist?

A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, thought 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's the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

Psychologists and psychiatrists receive differing educations, as psychologists are not medically trained the same way that psychiatrists are. Psychologists mainly specialize in providing therapy services and diagnoses for mental disorders — something that most therapists cannot provide — while psychiatrists manage medications and sometimes provide therapy services. The main difference is that psychologists (generally) cannot prescribe medications the way psychiatrists can.

Do psychiatric NPs treat mental disorders?

Psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs) treat and diagnose disorders, prescribe and manage medications, and offer psychotherapy services, too.

How do psychiatriac 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.

Is psychiatry/medication conducted in person or online?

At Thriveworks, we offer online psychiatry as well as in-person therapy services for optimal comfort and convenience.

How long does psychiatry last?

Psychiatric services at Thriveworks Pflugerville 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 years. treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client's goals for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

Have you heard the word “psychiatrist” tossed around before? Maybe you have a hazy idea of who they are and what they do, but you’re not completely sure. Psychiatrists are mental health professionals that help people treat and manage the symptoms of mental health disorders and conditions. They help everyday people like you get the care that they need to live more successful, fulfilling lives. 

For some, mental health care might be intimidating. Perhaps you’re worried about what people in your life might think or say if you were to start talking with a professional. For others, you might feel skeptical about whether or not there’s any way that a psychiatrist or other type of provider can help you. But at Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX, we know that anyone, at any stage in their lives can benefit from connecting with a mental health professional. 

While deciding to reach out is up to you, we’d like to offer our online psychiatric services as a viable option; we’ve got industry-leading professionals who are dedicated to improving the quality of life of their clients. It’s just one of the many ways that Thriveworks helps people prioritize their mental health. 

What Does a Psychiatrist Do? How Can They Help?

Psychiatrists are specialized types of mental health care providers. They have a unique professional background, one that allows them to treat more severe or persistent forms of mental conditions and disorders. Psychiatrists are set apart from ordinary counselors and therapists because they: 

  • Are medical doctors in addition to being licensed therapists 
  • Can prescribe helpful medication to assist clients in managing mental health conditions or disorders 
  • Can combine helpful medications with therapy to craft a unique treatment plan for clients

It’s understandable if you’re feeling like a psychiatry session sounds intimidating, especially knowing that they can prescribe you medicine, and knowing that they’re also doctors. But rest assured, they’re human beings before anything else. Like the other caring providers at Thriveworks in Pflugerville, TX, addressing your reservations and concerns is part of their job. 

Psychiatry isn’t necessarily for everyone, though. Some of our clients find more benefit from connecting with a therapist or counselor through talk or behavioral therapy. Ultimately, whatever provider type you’re matched with, quality mental health care is what you’ll be provided with. If you’re dealing with racing thoughts, agitation, mood swings, or fatigue, you may be experiencing one of the common mental health disorders that our psychiatrists treat, such as: 

  • Generalized anxiety 
  • PTSD 
  • Major depression 
  • Postpartum depression 
  • ADHD 
  • OCD 

But if you’re not seeing a condition or disorder that you’re concerned about being listed—it’s okay. Our psychiatrists can help to diagnose whatever is bothering you.

The Many Benefits of Online Psychiatry 

Online psychiatry is an effective, convenient, and secure way for people to get the psychiatric help they need, all without missing a step. Consider some of the benefits our online sessions can provide you with:

  • 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. 
  • 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. 

What’s more, our online sessions still adhere to strict guidelines and regulations from both the APA and HIPAA. We make sure your information is safe so that you’ll be able to rest easy and get the most out of your meeting with your provider.

I have used many different counselors in different cities/states and I have had a phenomenal experience with Deissy Rosenbaum. She has helped with a broad range of issues from cultural assimilation to ADHD to reprocessing childhood trauma through a unique method of EMDR therapy. Because I had her support, I not only made it through a tough year (2020) but am thriving and have made progress in so many areas of my life.

I have been seeing therapists for about 20 years now, with little success. Until I met with Deissy Rosenbaum. It is obvious to me that Deissy deeply cares about my well-being; she combines complex techniques that I have never seen before, resulting in remarkable success. I have been able to remember things from my youth that were long suppressed, and feel much more whole inside. She is very humble, but her talents are quite impressive. I would describe her as patient, soft-spoken, and sensitive to my feelings. I could particularly see her working well with children, and in reality, getting in touch with my inner child was part of what really helped me. She is very easy to talk to, and I’m really happy I found her.

Words cannot express how awesome Grichell is!! I’ve seen a few therapists in my life, and by far she has been the only one to quickly figure out a way to explain things to me that make sense. There’s never any judgement, only direct advice and counsel that has helped me so much. I actually enjoy and look forward to my time with her! If you are told she has no openings, just know, she is well worth the wait in line.

I had the pleasure of using Alison Riley for my councilor. She's absolutely wonderful! She made me feel comfortable right away, which isn't the easiest thing to do. I was able to see things that I had closed myself off to for the longest, and she was even willing to have some of people I needed to talk to there so it was a neutral environment. I truly appreciate all the support she's provided. I feel like I'm much calmer now and much less anxious. Thank you so much, Alison!
