Starting Treatment With a Psychologist

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 Tempe, AZ 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 Tempe 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?

Problems big and small deserve attention. Mental health providers, including licensed psychologists, are trained to examine your mental and emotional problems and concerns. This may include using their specialty area of psychoanalytic therapy to uncover past trauma or providing guidance based on your answers to a given assessment or survey. Regardless of the type of challenge, the professionals at Thriveworks in Tempe, AZ are happy to help you.

If you believe you could benefit from speaking with a psychologist, please consider contacting us today. We would love to accompany you on your journey to sound mental wellness.

Reasons to Consult With a Psychologist

Everyone needs a support system. From major depressive disorder to child behavioral challenges, a licensed psychologist is equipped to address a variety of concerns and give you the support you need to make a positive change in your life.

Some of the more common reasons people seek the help of mental health professionals are:

  • Overcoming past trauma
  • Managing phobias
  • Unpacking relationship issues
  • Receiving guidance in major life transitions
  • Dealing with anxiety and stress
  • Dealing with feelings of emptiness
  • Establishing healthy self-esteem

If you’ve found yourself feeling directionless, frustrated, or emotionally overwhelmed, please contact us at Thriveworks Counseling in Tempe, AZ. We would love to speak with you.

What to Expect During Psychology Appointments

Psychologists are trained to use talk therapy and a variety of psychological principles to help clients with their mental health challenges. They specialize in listening to your specific needs and talking you through your problems to come up with tailored solutions.

Treatment with a trained psychologist may involve any of the following methods:

  • Restructuring negative thoughts through cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps you recognize why a thought process may be inaccurate and challenges you to come up with different ways to approach problems.
  • Presenting tests and assessments that help pinpoint your problem while giving more insight into why you may behave or think the way you do.
  • Using a psychoanalytical approach that involves talking through past trauma and experiences to help you and your psychologist better understand the cause of your concerns.
  • Completing at-home assignments that challenge you to continue the work done during your online or face-to-face sessions with your provider.

Experienced psychologists may use one form of treatment or work across treatment types to provide the best care. They may also collaborate with a Thriveworks psychiatrist if medication is needed in combination with other forms of treatment.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
