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.
Thriveworks psychologists in Anchorage, AK 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.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Anchorage 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.
Psychologists are licensed mental health professionals with specialized education in diagnosing and treating mental illness. Each psychologist may have a specialty area of practice where they have extra training in treating a particular condition, but all psychologists have comprehensive training in helping people manage all kinds of mental health concerns.

A common misconception about psychotherapy is that you need to be on the verge of a breakdown to reach out for help. Psychologists can help people dealing with severe mental illness, but they can also help people with mild or moderate mental issues, or a general sense of unease without a known cause.
People come to psychotherapy for help figuring out the underlying problems behind symptoms such as:
If you’ve felt that something is “off,” or you think that you want to talk to someone, consider reaching out to a psychologist from Thriveworks Counseling in Anchorage, AK. They’ll work with you to help you live a happier, healthier life.
Working with a psychologist in therapy sessions can teach you a lot about yourself and the way you think. Each person’s experience with their mental health is unique, and your mental health treatment plan will be unique to you.
Psychologists cater each client’s treatment to their specific needs. This might mean that they draw heavily on a particular type of therapy, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is frequently used for clients dealing with anxiety or depressive disorders. They might also combine methods from CBT with other types of therapy, like psychodynamic therapy or interpersonal therapy.
Above all else, psychotherapy is a dedicated time for you to focus on yourself each week. No matter what issue you’re dealing with, taking the time to understand yourself and articulate the values and needs that are important to you in life can significantly impact your sense of self and happiness.
