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, OH 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?

In today’s fast-paced world, you may begin feeling more pressure with every passing day. Responsibilities quickly add up and can weigh you down until you feel like you have no energy to even accomplish your usual to-do list. Or you may start to feel symptoms of a mental illness without being able to pinpoint any particular reason.

Either way, it’s easy to feel isolated with these kinds of feelings. However, it’s important to realize that mental health issues like anxiety and depression are more common than you might think. Even celebrities have to fight their own battles with various mental illnesses and emotional disorders.

Take Jon Hamm as an example. He’s played some serious roles throughout his career but he’s best known for his great sense of humor. In interviews, he jokes and flashes a charming smile, and seems like he has it all. But as with most people, Hamm’s external persona doesn’t show the full picture.

Hamm’s relationship with Jennifer Westfeldt, a writer, fell apart not long ago and sent him reeling. In order to cope with his struggles, he sought the help of a mental health counselor that could help him work through this difficult period of life. Today, he’s extremely vocal about his mental health journey and encourages others to see psychologists in order to get their lives back on track just like he did.

If there is a challenge that is holding you back from living the life you want to live, there are clinical psychologists at Thriveworks Counseling in Dayton, OH that are available to help you take the first step in your recovery.

What Are the Biggest Benefits of Working With a Psychologist?

The most important thing to understand is that there is nothing wrong with seeing a psychologist. It’s as normal to sit down with a mental health expert as it is to go to your family doctor for a routine physical.

Maybe you’ve always felt like you struggled with your mental health and have seen how it has impacted you over the years. Or perhaps a recent event has triggered a surge of negativity in your life. Either way, there is no shame in seeking help from a licensed psychologist.

Clinical psychologists can help you learn how to cut your problems down to a size that is more manageable for you, both now and in the future. Our counseling psychologists work with people who seek help for a number of reasons, such as:

  • Marriage and family counseling
  • Substance abuse counseling
  • Taking on transitions in life
  • Grief counseling
  • Dealing with depression and anxiety
  • Gaining self-esteem
  • Eating disorder counseling

Consider your current situation. Is there something that is holding you back? Does your happiness feel like it’s on the bottom of your priority list? The mental health experts at Thriveworks in Dayton, OH can help you take control of your life once again.

Should I Consider Seeing a Psychologist?

Psychologists have the background knowledge, training, and experience necessary to treat mental illnesses and help individuals find happiness and fulfillment in their lives. Just like you wouldn’t ignore an injury or an illness, you don’t have to set aside your mental well-being either.

A psychologist can help you understand why you are struggling with a given problem.

Sometimes it takes an outsider digging deep below the surface to find out what led to the current predicament. Mental health professionals can assist you in successfully coping with life’s biggest challenges — like losing a loved one, a job, or a relationship, for example — so you can learn how to move forward.

Working with a psychologist can help you to improve your problem-solving and communication skills as well. You can find more happiness and fulfillment with your family, your work, and your life if you understand how to express yourself and cope with your struggles.

No matter what you may be going through, the staff at Thriveworks in Dayton, OH is here to support you in taking the first steps forward.
