The only constant in life is change. Relationships change over time, work becomes more complicated, and children get older. Sometimes, these changes are better than anything we could have ever imagined. Other times, it can feel like your world is crashing down around you. When that happens, anxiety, fear, sadness, or anger can be overwhelming.
When things are difficult in your life, reaching out for support can help. Working with a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist can help you understand the situation you’re in and the feelings you’re experiencing. They can help you manage stress, talk through a difficult decision, or help you reduce the symptoms of a mental disorder like anxiety or depression.
Call our office today at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry San Jose to set up your first appointment. One of our team members will help you schedule a session with a licensed mental health professional.
What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.

While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry San Jose, we offer:
