Can I Benefit From Working With a Psychologist?

The short answer is yes! A psychologist can help you identify your symptoms, offer a diagnosis, and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to fit your needs. This can be applied to almost any area of mental health. A psychologist can: 

• Help you overcome past trauma and difficult emotions: Have you ever witnessed something traumatic, been in an abusive relationship, gone through a natural disaster? All of these events can prove traumatic. Your Thriveworks psychologist can help you address that underlying psychological trauma and offer guidance and support to help you cope moving forward. 

• Provide guidance during major life transitions: Major life changes can be hard for anyone. For example, when we start a new job, move to a new city, or go through a divorce. In any case, a psychologist at Thriveworks in XXXXXX can help you adjust properly. It’s okay to feel lonely, scared, and worried about the unknown during this time. But our psychologists will help you through it. 

• Assist you in overcoming relationship issues: Every couple is bound to get into arguments, fights, disagreements. Sometimes it can be really hard to get through these tough spots without a third party’s unbiased perspective. Psychologists can help you work through these challenges and provide a safe space to open up and talk freely about what’s going on. 
• Guide you through the grieving process: Like we briefly described before, when we find out about a major loss, it can be devastating. Whether you’re coping with the passing of a beloved friend, family member, or pet, or the loss of a job or home, psychologists have the expertise and experience to guide you through the stages of grief.

Our psychologists will create unique treatment plans for you and offer you a judgment-free, safe space to talk and open up. 

Types of Therapy Our Psychologists Might Use

Some of the most common therapeutic approaches used by psychologists include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A widely used therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
