Starting Treatment With a Psychologist

What are psychologists?

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.

How do psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Raleigh, NC provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.

Can I see a psychologist in person or online?

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Raleigh is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.

Need more help deciding?

Thriveworks Counseling in Raleigh, NC is dedicated to helping our clients live better lives. This might mean creating healthier habits, finding activities that bring us joy, or finding greater success and fulfillment. In any case, the psychologists at Thriveworks in Raleigh can help you live the life you want for yourself. They’ll personalize your treatment plan to suit your needs and goals. To book your session, simply give us a call. You can reach our office at (919) 424-6045.

How Can Working with a Psychologist Benefit Me?

Psychologists are uniquely equipped with knowledge, skills, training, and experience that most of us don’t have. This toolbox allows them to help people with a wide range of challenges, such as adapting well during major life transitions (like Thomas in the example above). Let’s take a closer look at how a psychologist can help in this scenario and a few others:

  1. Adjusting amid major life changes: We all go through changes that prove to be major, at some point in our lifetime. For example, we start a new job, we move to a new city, or we end a long-term relationship. And often, we struggle with new and unexplored feelings that stem from these changes. We might even start to feel depressed, like Thomas. In these instances, a psychologist can help us manage our depression and come up with a plan for thriving amid this major life transition.
  2. Working through conflicts in our relationships: We also all experience conflicts or challenges in our relationships. We fight with our significant others about serious (as well insignificant) subjects, from parenting styles to infidelity, jealousy, and plans for the future. If you and your partner are struggling to find common ground, a psychologist can mediate and help you two come up with a solution that works for your relationship.
  3. Managing symptoms of a mental illness: If you develop symptoms of a mental illness, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or another mental health condition, you too can benefit from working with a psychologist. In fact, it’s important that you talk to a mental health professional in these circumstances so that you can get the right treatment as soon as possible.

These are but a few examples of how the psychologists at Thriveworks in Raleigh can assist you. Again, whatever it is you’re struggling with, they will do their best to support you and guide you in the right direction.

Book a Session with a Thriveworks Psychologist in Raleigh, NC

We want you to know that you are not alone. Dealing with mental health problems and other life issues can certainly feel lonely, isolating, and hopeless—but we’re here to walk with you through the difficult seasons. You don’t have to figure this out alone. Our psychologists are here for you and they want to help.

You can schedule your appointment by calling our office at (919) 424-6045. A scheduling specialist will answer the phone and assist you through the simple, quick process. Remember: we offer online counseling in addition to in-office counseling. If you’d prefer to work with a psychologist online, that’s fine by us. Our psychologists are happy to help via any medium.

Had bad fall last year and I was feeling sad, depressed and angry cuz now I couldn't go to see my auntie mom like I was doing two or three times a year.  Now I have to be home I broke my wrist in two places now I have doctors and doctors and doctors and x-rays and all this other stuff going on and I felt like I didn't have my life, didn't have a life right then and I know I would get better but it was taking too long so that was infecting me mentally and so I found the Thriveworks card at my pain doctors office and I gave him a call and immediately they set me up with an appointment.  I've had three or four appointments now.  I'm starting to feel better because I live by myself, I'm 71, and I needed someone to talk to so y'all set me up with a very nice lady.  I learned out to do Zoom and a couple meetings of course, but I'm feeling better  as time goes on.  I still have to have another surgery but at least I'm closer to being able to traveling again right now I can even walk a half a block so thank you Thriveworks for being there for me.  I don't know how ling I need you but I'm glad you're there.  My person is kind to start phone she allows me to talk, she gives me feedback, and I'm just so grateful to have had her during this holiday as well so I've also recommended a couple other people to try Thriveworks right at my doctor's office and they seem interested.  Thank you Thriveworks

I have known Mrs. Ashley Barber-Brown for 18 years now and I can honestly say that she is truly an amazing person. Besides her strong will to work hard and take care of her family, Ashley is also compassionate and undoubtedly dedicated to making sure that she helps others. Her selflessness, loyalty and authentic personality are just some of the many attributes that I admire about her.
