Does Thriveworks offer psychiatric services?

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 Riverside, OH 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 Riverside 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.

How Do Psychiatrists Differ from Other Mental Health Providers?
A lot of people don’t understand how psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers differ from other mental health providers, as they all specialize in offering mental health help.
Psychiatrists and other psychiatric providers specialize in the psychiatry field and can provide different types of mental health treatment, which include psychotherapy (such as talk therapy) and medication. A major difference between psychiatrists and their counterparts is that they are able to prescribe medication and offer medication management to individuals.
Therapists and counselors, on the other hand, specialize in helping their clients in many different kinds of therapy, including (but not limited to) talk therapy, art therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative therapy.
In a nutshell, all of these individuals are mental health experts. However, psychiatric providers are qualified to prescribe and manage one’s medication, while other mental health professionals are not.
