About
I believe in the power of stories—the ones we are told and, most importantly, the ones we tell ourselves. Sometimes, we need a change in perspective to understand ourselves better.

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 Providence, RI 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 Providence 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.
It’s important to open up about our mental health problems. Doing so offers perspective, allows us to obtain crucial support from others, and enables us to work through these challenges effectively.
If you’re thinking about talking with a psychologist to work through common issues and mental health concerns, simply call our office at (401) 235-4170 to schedule a session with Thriveworks Providence.
Psychologists are mental health professionals who help their clients understand and manage their mental health issues. They offer a safe space for talking about one’s thoughts and feelings and bring skills and techniques to the table that help us heal, grow, and live better.
Here are some common functions of a licensed psychologist:
Psychologists work closely with their clients, typically using therapy to understand and help them. They ask their clients to open up about their experiences, then piece together how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect one another and the individual as a whole.
If you’re considering working with a psychologist, you might wonder what type of therapy you might receive. There are different types designed to help with various issues. For example:
While psychologists cannot prescribe medication, they work closely with psychiatrists who can ensure you receive the necessary treatment to get better.
