We all get stuck in our own thoughts from time to time. Modern life can be incredibly stressful between work, school, parenting, finances, and maintaining relationships. Life can feel like it’s moving at a breakneck pace, and it can be difficult for us to take time to care for ourselves.
You don’t have to go through these challenging times alone. Working with a licensed mental health professional from Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Missouri City can help you chart a healthier, happier path forward.
Reasons To Try Therapy or Counseling
Your life and your specific challenges are unique to you. It’s impossible to list all of the reasons why you might want to work with a licensed professional counselor, but here are some common examples:
- You’re having trouble communicating with others at work, school, or in your personal relationships.
- Anxiety, depression, or symptoms of another mental health condition are impacting your life.
- Situations in your life are putting you under a lot of stress and you need help finding ways to cope.
- You’re struggling to get through a difficult loss in your life.
So many people think that therapy or counseling is only for those with severe mental illness, but that’s not the case. Life is filled with difficult times, and working with a mental health professional can help people with mental health challenges, both big and small.
If you’re ready to schedule a counseling or therapy session, consider calling Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Missouri City today.
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.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Missouri City, we offer:
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.
