Starting Psychiatry/medication in San Jose

Does Thriveworks offer psychiatric services?

Yes, we offer comprehensive psychiatric services to meet your mental health needs.

How does psychiatry work?

Psychiatry allows people struggling to manage mental conditions or disorders to get access to medications that will make daily functioning easier, as well as work through any mental factors that might be causing or worsening their condition. Though medications can’t cure mental disorders, medication can make symptoms more manageable, making the process of psychotherapeutic treatment easier and more effective. Psychiatric care can be available through in-person psychiatry and online psychiatry, depending on where you live and your own preferences. However, psychiatric providers at Thriveworks in San Jose, CA specifically offer online psychiatry to their clients.

What is the difference between a mental health therapist & psychiatrist?

A therapist has an education specifically rooted in therapeutic practice, approaches, techniques, and treatment. They cannot prescribe medications for clients, though they often refer clients to psychiatrists for medication management. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who specialize in mental health treatment, mainly through medication management and prescription, though they can also practice therapy.

What is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP)?

A Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a highly trained and licensed professional who specializes in mental health care. They are qualified to diagnose and treat mental health conditions, prescribe medications, and provide therapy. Psychiatric NPs at Thriveworks are qualified to prescribe medications for a variety of mental health conditions. They work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.

How do psychiatric providers diagnose?

Oftentimes, psychiatrists or psychiatric professionals will perform a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which involves an in-depth discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and current medications. Once they reach a diagnosis, they may suggest starting certain medications depending on your condition and the intensity of your symptoms.

Can I receive psychiatric services online?

Yes. At Thriveworks, we offer online-only psychiatry services for optimal comfort and convenience.

How long does psychiatry last?

Psychiatric services at Thriveworks San Jose can last for as little or as much time as the client needs to reach their treatment goals, whether that be a month or two or over the course of a year. Treatment length is heavily dependent on the condition(s) being treated, the course of treatment, and the client’s goals for treatment.

Is anxiety treated with psychiatry?

Psychiatrists are mental health professionals who can prescribe anxiety medication and provide therapeutic treatment for anxiety, although not all psychiatrists offer therapy. At Thriveworks, medication management occurs via online psychiatry sessions.

Does Thriveworks accept insurance for psychiatric services?

Yes, Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans. We strive to make mental health care accessible and affordable for everyone.

Need more help deciding?

Millions live with mental disorders that cause symptoms like stress, difficulty sleeping, and substance abuse every day. A compassionate mental health professional can help people identify and treat these issues that are keeping them from living the best versions of their lives.

When you’re ready to explore your options, reach out to Thriveworks Counseling in San Jose, CA. Give us a call or book a psychiatry appointment online anytime.

When Should I Reach Out to a Psychiatrist?

Psychiatric services are not only for dire cases. You may benefit from connecting with a licensed psychiatrist even if you think your mental health concerns are manageable on your own. People reach out about a number of issues, including:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression and other mood disorders
  • Personality disorders
  • Self-destructive behavior or suicidal thoughts
  • Substance abuse and/or addiction
  • PTSD or trauma
  • Insomnia
  • Postpartum depression
  • Eating disorders
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Bipolar disorder

Our psychiatric nurse practitioners are mental health experts who can diagnose mental and emotional disorders, create individual treatment plans, and prescribe medications that are catered to your unique needs.

You may be dealing with grief, experiencing low self-esteem, struggling to form intimate relationships, or something else entirely. Whatever is troubling you, it might help to talk things through with a board-certified mental health provider. When you’re ready to take care of your mental health, call or contact Thriveworks Counseling in San Jose, CA.
