Treatment With a Psychologist FAQs

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 Shreveport, LA 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.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Shreveport 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?

Psychologists are licensed mental health professionals with specialized training in diagnosing and treating mental illness. Each psychologist may have a specialty area of practice where they have extra training in treating a specific condition, but all psychologists have extensive training in helping people manage various kinds of mental health concerns and challenges.

If you want to speak with a licensed psychologist from Thriveworks Counseling in Shreveport, LA, call our office today at (318) 618-8427.

Should I See a Psychologist?

Clinical psychologists can treat a wide variety of mental health challenges and situations, including:

  • Anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and phobias
  • Major depressive disorder and other forms of depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Mood disorders
  • Eating disorders
  • Substance abuse
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Personality disorders
  • Excess stress
  • Relationship issues

Your licensed psychologist will provide a comfortable, confidential environment where you can discuss your issues and find relief. They’ll work with you to understand your needs, goals, and desires so you can live a happier and healthier life.

When you’re ready to work with a psychologist, consider reaching out to us at Thriveworks Counseling in Shreveport, LA.

Psychological Treatment: What To Expect

Your counseling psychologist will choose a form of therapy that makes sense for your specific needs. Depending on your goals, therapy can help you:

  • Reduce stress
  • Learn more effective communication skills
  • Reframe negative thought patterns
  • Change or reduce harmful behaviors
  • Process grief or loss
  • Overcome family issues
  • Solve conflicts or resolve disagreements
  • Mitigate depression or anxiety symptoms
  • Identify your values

Psychologists can also advise you on the potential benefit of medication for treating any mental health issues. Some psychologists can prescribe medication in the state of Louisiana after completing a specific master’s degree program. However, most psychologists will often work with a psychiatrist or other medical professional if prescribed medication would be helpful for your situation.

Dee Thomas is a great counselor. She provides a perfect balance of talking through things, teaching during sessions and reading, reflecting and prayer between sessions. She reaches out to check on me and has become a true source of accountability and I really need that right now.
