Psychiatry/medication FAQs

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 , IN 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 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.

I have never enjoyed working with a therapist more than I do with Desiree. I don’t feel like I need to adhere to this idea of what I should do. But instead, we jointly work together to figure out what works best for me personally. I feel like she has a fantastic personal approach that I personally appreciate a lot.

I absolutely love my sessions with Desiree Paddock. I've been seeing her weekly for a little over a year now. Her sessions have changed my life in so many ways, and they continue to do just that. She is very easy to talk to and I feel that she really does understand me on so many levels. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody looking for some help. She is very professional with a personal touch.

Since starting therapy - Jen has been quite understanding and informative during our sessions. I appreciate her non-judgemental attitude and her professionalism. I have only used email to reach her after my dog passed away - and her reply will always warm my heart. She is a top notch provider and I think my stars she was assigned me those many years ago.

Tina Chavis was amazing, she gave me hope that I’ve not had for years. I’m so sorry I put off making the appointment for so long, I feel like I’m already in the process of getting my life back. I’ve already referred Thriveworks to a family member who’ll be calling for an appointment tomorrow.

I love how Desiree is a stranger does not know anyone who I tell her about, and she does not always agree with my rash decisions. Desiree is a great confidant and I would recommend her to anyone.
