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 Riverside, CA 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 Riverside 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?

Being accountable for your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors is an important part of being a successful adult. But the path to self-knowledge and change can be hard, and many of us are flying blind. That’s where a professional psychologist can help shine a light on what our strengths and weaknesses are, and give us coping strategies to deal with hardship. 

The licensed psychologists at Thriveworks in Riverside, CA can support clients in their journey toward mental wellness. Our highly trained, experienced mental health providers use a number of effective, peer-researched, evidence-based treatments and psychotherapies to illuminate problems and find practical solutions. The psychologists at Thriveworks in Riverside, CA have the expertise and compassion to help you achieve your goals in life. Reach out today for help.

What Exactly Is Mental Health?

Another important question is, how do you achieve mental health? It’s not always easy. Sometimes it takes hard work and resilience. Sometimes it takes professional support. Maybe you’ll get there one day by doing it all yourself, but you’ll encounter far fewer psychological obstacles in life if you ask for help as soon as possible. 

Early intervention with mental health conditions can spell the difference between long-term problems and remission. The licensed psychologists at Thriveworks in Riverside, CA know that good mental health can serve as an anchor for all you may accomplish in the future. It’s an essential foundation in life.

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.
