If you weren’t lucky enough to have grown up watching the children’s television show Mr. Rogers, you may never have heard Fred Rogers’ words of wisdom. For instance, Rogers once stated, “Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.”
This isn’t just great advice for kids who might be grappling with their biggest emotions for the first time. Grownups need to pay attention as well. Humans are complex, sensitive creatures and we can sometimes express ourselves in odd, maladaptive ways if we don’t learn how to mention and manage our emotions. That’s where a great therapist comes in.
If you could use some help figuring out what makes you tick and how you can initiate some healthy changes in your life, contact a mental health counselor at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Walnut Creek. Our counseling and psychiatry services offer clients the expertise, practical guidance, and emotional empathy that you can’t find elsewhere.
How Do I Know When It’s Time to Reach Out to a Therapist at Thriveworks?
Individuals sometimes come to Thriveworks because they’re experiencing uncomfortable symptoms that are beginning to disrupt their lives. Psychological symptoms can interfere with daily functioning and cause problems at work and at home, professionally and with loved ones. It’s never too late to seek help for your mental issues, but many treatments are more effective if you enlist professional intervention earlier.
Though depression and anxiety are the two most common mental health disorders in America, no one’s problems are exactly like someone else’s, even with the same diagnosis. Licensed counselors at Thriveworks take the whole person into account when beginning treatment. Even if you have a disorder, it definitely doesn’t need to define you.
Should I See a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist?
If you’re suffering from mental distress, it may not be clear right away whether you require a psychologist, who can treat you with psychotherapy, or a psychiatrist, who can also prescribe prescription medications like antidepressants and mood stabilizers. Keep in mind that Thriveworks mental health providers collaborate with each other so you can always be referred to the proper professional. Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Walnut Creek can help match you with the exact support you need.
