Starting Psychologists

What is 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 does Psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Salt Lake City, UT 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.

Is Psychologists conducted in person or online?

How long does Psychologists last?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Salt Lake City 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?

When you think of a psychology appointment, you may already have an image in your mind. Maybe you picture someone laying down on a couch while their psychologist listens intently, taking detailed notes. You may recall a scene from your favorite movie or TV show depicting a character struggling with a severe mental health issue.

What many people don’t picture, however, is themselves in the role of the client. It’s easy to say that mental health issues are worth prioritizing when referring to other people but it’s another matter to turn those words into action when we’re the ones struggling with difficult emotions and uncomfortable symptoms. There are always work and family responsibilities to attend to, errands to run, boxes to check off. It may simply feel easier to push off your feelings for another day.

However, mental and emotional disorders won’t just magically resolve on their own. Without the guidance of a trained psychologist, these issues are likely to linger and lead to physical symptoms and troubles at home and work.

If you’re been struggling with a mental health issue and need someone to talk to, clinical psychologists are standing by at Thriveworks Counseling in Salt Lake City, UT.

What Does Psychological Treatment Involve?

A licensed psychologist is trained to understand the mind, its mental processes, and our emotions and behaviors. Not only do they have expertise regarding mental illnesses, but they can also provide help with many difficult situations you may encounter.

Talk therapy forms the basis of much of a psychologist’s work. This is a collaborative process where you discuss your thoughts and feelings so you can begin to identify patterns, address concerns, and change behaviors. Many people are surprised by how often they don’t pay attention to their own thoughts throughout the day. When you are functioning on “autopilot,” it is difficult to see the impact those thoughts have on your mood and behavior.

By verbalizing them with a trained professional, you can gain a new perspective on your problems and begin to make healthier decisions. This process relies on your commitment to being honest with yourself and your psychologist.

While counseling psychologists can help you through a specific crisis or disorder, many clients find that they leave with a better understanding of their stressors and triggers so they can navigate life in a healthier manner. You may learn better communication skills that you can use in your relationships, or a unique perspective on your upbringing and how you were shaped into the person you are today. Having that information can help make it easier to work toward being the person you want to be tomorrow.

To experience the benefits of speaking with a licensed psychologist, don’t hesitate to make an appointment today with Thriveworks Counseling in Salt Lake City, UT.
