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 Kennesaw, GA 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 Kennesaw 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.
The psychologists at Thriveworks Kennesaw will make sure that you have plenty of tools in your toolbox. These tools will help you cope with stress, better process your emotions, and ultimately manage the challenges you stumble upon throughout your life.
If you’re ready to schedule an appointment with one of our psychologists, please give us a call. You can reach us at (770) 224-7408.
