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 Rio Rancho, NM 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 Rio Rancho 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.

Psychologists and Psychiatrists: What’s the Difference?

People commonly confuse psychiatrists and psychologists, but they’re very different professions within the mental health field. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who are licensed to prescribe medications like antidepressants.

Psychologists are licensed to provide evidence-based talk therapy (psychotherapy). Psychologists can be counseling psychologists or clinical psychologists. They usually have advanced degrees like PhDs or PsyDs (both doctorate degrees), but are not medical doctors.

At Thriveworks in Rio Rancho, NM you may also encounter these mental health providers as well:

  • Licensed professional counselors (LPCs)

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
