What Benefits Come from Working with a Counselor or Psychologist?
When a person has a physical ailment, like a sprained ankle or a sore throat, we all know who to see. When we have a legal problem, it’s easy to know where to find help. But when we have mental health issues, it can be difficult to know where to turn.
If you are not familiar with counseling, clinical social work, or psychotherapy, it can be overwhelming to try something new. We understand this feeling, but counseling and therapy are incredibly common. It can be difficult to know how to get started, but understand that this is a very positive and beneficial step.
Whatever the reason that you are considering counseling, therapy, or life coaching, certain emotional and psychological benefits are common. Some of these include:
- Becoming more realistic about your strengths and weaknesses.
- Clearly-defined goals.
- Gaining a better understanding of fears and negative tendencies.
- Developing a better way to deal with your emotions.
- Helping you understand and cope with the past.
- Becoming more prepared for the emotional turmoil of the future.
- Opening yourself to new experiences and relationships.
- Feeling more fulfilled.
We are not guaranteeing that you will achieve all of these benefits, but experiencing a few is very likely. When you have the opportunity to talk about your life, your feelings, your emotions, and your relationships, you get a better understanding of what is bothering you, what is helping you, and what steps you need to take to move forward in a healthy manner.
What Is the Difference Between Therapy, Counseling, and Psychiatry?
Therapy, provided by our counselors and therapists, addresses emotional and behavioral challenges using therapeutic techniques for mental well-being. Counseling, offered by counselors or therapists, focuses on specific issues and life adjustments, while psychiatry, led by our psychiatric nurse practitioners, involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions with medication.
What Are the Types of Therapists You Can See?
While availability may vary, at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Charleston, we offer:
- Licensed Independent Social Workers – Clinical Practice (LISW-CPs): Specialized in social work and counseling for individuals, families, and groups.
- Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs): Focused on relationship and family-related issues.
- Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs): Trained to offer counseling services for various emotional and mental health issues.
When you connect with a provider at Thriveworks, you’ll be sharing your experience with an industry-leading expert; someone with the experience and professional insight you need to move forward.
