What Is Counseling?
Counseling, or therapy, designates a regular time in a person’s life to explore their thoughts and emotions with the help of a trained professional. Often, counseling starts with an assessment: a time for a client to inform the counselor of any problems they are facing and reasons for seeking help. Counselors may inquire about their clients’ family, career, physical health, relationships, mental health, or spirituality.
Counselors may use a scale to have their clients measure their current life situation: -10 to 0 to +10. A +10 means the client is functioning well in a particular area of their life. No one functions at a +10 all the time and in all spheres of their life.
On the opposite side of the scale, a -10 may indicate that a person is experiencing or has experienced severe trauma. This score usually means people have a lot of pain that our counselors can help them process.
Based upon the assessment, Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Sterling offers each client individualized care.

Talk With an Online Psychiatrist
If you’re looking for help with a mental health disorder like depression or anxiety, you might want to consider psychiatric counseling. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in treating mental illness and can view your condition from a holistic, medical perspective.
Mental disorders often have a physical aspect to them, whether that be the physical symptoms they cause or a chemical imbalance that contributes to the disorder. Psychiatrists can look at the big picture when it comes to the diagnosis and treatment of many disorders and prescribe medication when necessary.
Your treatment plan may also involve psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process whereby a client opens up to a mental health professional about their thoughts and experiences. This can make it easier to determine how your condition originated, see the impact your thoughts have on your daily behaviors and emotions, and chart a path towards lasting recovery.
To speak to a licensed psychiatrist, contact Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Sterling today to make an appointment.
