Starting Treatment With a Psychologist

What are psychologists?

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.

How do psychologists work?

Thriveworks psychologists in Richmond, VA 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.

How long would I see a psychologist?

Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Richmond 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.

How Can a Psychologist at Thriveworks Richmond Help Me?

As you can see in the example above, a psychologist at Thriveworks Richmond can help you work through relationship issues and better communicate your needs with your partner or spouse. But this isn’t the only realm they can help with. Our psychologists can help you in other important areas of life too, including:

  1. Happiness and success at work: The psychologists at Thriveworks Richmond can help you find happiness and success in your career, too. This might involve learning how to better manage stress, exploring different job opportunities, or adjusting your attitude in your current workplace. The majority of us spend most of our days (and therefore, our lives) at work, and so it’s important that we are happy with our jobs.
  2. Personal fulfillment: Our Thriveworks Richmond Psychologists can help to ensure you feel personally fulfilled, too. Personal fulfillment can come from many different areas of life, including our relationships, our jobs, and our hobbies. If you’re lacking personal fulfillment or purpose, they can help you explore different avenues for securing that. This, too, is important to your overall health and wellbeing.
  3. Mental health upkeep: And perhaps most importantly, the psychologists at Thriveworks Richmond can also help with general mental health upkeep. This means working through any symptoms of a mental illness, learning about the importance of self-care, performing stress reduction and stress management, and so on. They can help you overcome whatever mental health challenge lies before you.

My experience has been somewhat less desiring. My ongoing sessions with the counselor is not as expected. It’s not engaging and oftentimes we are sitting in silence. I even asked if there was an ending game plan so we know where we are working towards and I didn’t get an answer.

Ashley Crouch has been been a blessing to me over the past year. I cannot begin to thank her enough for how she has impacted my life. She is very effective, professional, and respectful. My quality of life has improved by leaps and bounds and I'm forever grateful. I live in a rural area with few counseling options, so online counseling was a Godsend, and so was Ashley!

I’ve been seeing Ashley for about a month now at Thriveworks and I couldn’t be happier. She really helped me get back to person I use to be. I’ve had a rough couple years and she has me well on my way to a better me.
