If you had chest pains, what would you do? Would you wait around for months and hope the pain goes away on its own, or would you go to the doctor to receive care?
What about if you had a toothache? Would you continue to eat sugary sweets and desserts, knowing that each bite gives you pain? Or would you go to the dentist to check for cavities and address the problem head-on before additional damage is done?
In both situations, you have a choice: to ignore the problem and continue with business as usual or to seek help from a trained professional who may be able to diagnose and treat you.
Just as you would visit a doctor for chest pain or a dentist for a cavity, it’s a good idea to visit a counseling center when something feels off mentally or emotionally. Physical health is only one aspect of your total wellbeing, and neglecting your mental and emotional health can have serious repercussions down the line.
No matter our circumstances, we all have a similar goal in life — happiness. What that happiness is may look different for different people, but it begins and ends with sound mental health. We know the stigmas around mental illness and healthcare can seem unnerving, but there is no shame in investing in your emotional wellbeing.
You don’t have to do the work alone. If you’re ready to take the steps toward wellness, please consider giving us a call at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Temecula. Our psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and therapists are standing by to help when you’re ready.
What Are the Benefits of Speaking With a Licensed Psychiatrist?
A licensed psychiatrist is a mental healthcare professional with training in medicine. Because they have a medical degree, psychiatrists are able to prescribe medication and treat mental illnesses from both a mental and physical perspective.
Psychiatrists provide a number of treatment plans and services. They may use psychoanalysis and cognitive behavioral therapy. They may also suggest relaxation techniques, meditation practices, and mindfulness activities. Your specialist may also give you out-of-office assignments that continue the work you do during your visit.
No matter the treatment plan, your provider will work to give you long-term strategies for strengthening your mental and emotional health.
If you’d like to schedule a video appointment with a psychiatrist, please give us a call in our Temecula, CA office. We look forward to hearing from you.
