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 San Jose, 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 San Jose 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.

When To Consider Seeing a Psychologist

While some people pursue treatment to address specific mental health disorders, others seek therapy or counseling to help them navigate difficult life changes or transitions. Some common reasons to consider working with a licensed psychologist include:

  • Relationship or family issues
  • Job loss or career change
  • Divorce, separation, or breakups
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Personality and mood disorders
  • Trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder
  • Grief or loss of a loved one
  • Anger and stress management
  • LGBTQ+ counseling
  • Eating disorders
  • Low self-esteem
  • Behavioral problems

These are common issues that millions of people struggle with daily, and they can be managed with a psychologist’s help. Working with a licensed psychologist at Thriveworks in San Jose, CA, can help you overcome complex issues, enhance your mental health, and lead to greater balance and overall life satisfaction.

What To Expect From Psychological Treatment

Psychological treatment usually includes one or multiple forms of talk therapy. Talk therapy works by helping you recognize and understand how you think and how those thoughts control your emotions and behaviors. These approaches can help you regain better control over how you respond to challenges and events and ultimately give you greater power to control your thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Psychological treatment plans may also include the addition of prescription medication to treat certain conditions or symptoms. These medications can be especially helpful when combined with talk therapy and other therapeutic techniques like meditation or practiced breathing.
