Reasons To Pursue Counseling or Therapy
Some questions you may be asking right now are:
- “Are things really so bad that I need professional help?”
- “Will people treat me differently if they know I’m in counseling?”
- “What if I try counseling and it doesn’t help?”
These are all valid questions and concerns. In fact, most clients end up asking similar questions before they decide to seek out help. But many mental health issues can benefit from the guidance of a licensed professional. Of course, you’ll never know if counseling can be of assistance to you unless you try. If you’re facing a difficult life transition or experiencing symptoms of a mental health disorder, consider scheduling an appointment with us at Thriveworks in Grand Prairie, TX.
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 Grand Prairie, 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.

How Much Does Therapy Cost?
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
Should I Speak With a Board-Certified Psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose, treat, and prevent mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues. Much like a dermatologist, podiatrist, or oncologist, psychiatric providers have a medical degree, which gives them the ability to provide comprehensive treatment and prescribe medications as necessary.
Some mental health issues present physical symptoms while the opposite is also possible — some physical ailments can cause psychological symptoms. Psychiatric professionals are trained to distinguish between the two and rule out any physical conditions before treating your mental health issues.
Here at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Grand Prairie, our compassionate psychiatric providers are standing by to support you. Contact us today to schedule your first remote psychiatry appointment by video.
