Who Can Benefit from Therapy? Do I Need Counseling?

• Anxiety or depression
• Relationship issues
• Eating disorders
• Obsessive-compulsive tendencies
• Grief and loss
• Problems with a child
• Stress management
• Anger management
• Addiction issues
• Lack of success or fulfillment

Every human is unique, as are their needs for therapy, counseling, or coaching. When you are looking for a therapist, counselor, or coach in Lexington, look no further than Thriveworks Counseling in Lexington. We understand that your life is full of responsibilities. You spend time caring for so many people in life, but how much time do you give to yourself?

Perhaps you have simply put your dreams on hold for too long. You have spent decades caring for others, addressing your family’s needs, and ignoring your own. Our Thriveworks therapists and coaches understand, but we want you to know that you can be more.

What Mental Health Services Are Offered at Thriveworks in Lexington?

We offer a wide range of mental health services, to best help everybody in the Lexington area. As we touched on previously, we recognize that everyone has their own unique challenges. To best address these, we offer the following mental health services:

• Marriage counseling
• Anger management
• Addiction counseling
• Life coaching
• Career counseling and coaching

These services can help people with specific, common mental health issues. For example, trauma therapy or PTSD counseling “can help you and others suffering with PTSD understand that they are having an expected human response given what they have been through,” explains Genevieve Wicks, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker at our Lexington office. “Therapy can focus on increasing body awareness so that emotional regulation is restored. A skilled, compassionate therapist can help you achieve a relaxed state through deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or other mindfulness activities.”

Odds are, whatever specific mental health service you need, Thriveworks Counseling in Lexington can meet that need. Our therapists and counselors come with unique skills and experience, which enable them to excel in specific areas. For example, some of our therapists and counselors specialize in depression therapy and anxiety therapy while others specialize in relationship counseling.

Learn More About You (or Your Child) Through Psychological Testing

In addition to the counseling services listed above, we can offer psychological testing, too! The way we act, think, and feel can all be determined by underlying psychological factors. Maybe you have difficulty concentrating and always thought that there might be a reason as to why. Or perhaps you are unhappy with your career choices and don’t know what environment best suits you and your needs.

Psychological testing can provide you with helpful information about your mental wellbeing. Here at Thriveworks Counseling in Lexington, we offer a variety of psychological tests and assessments, including:

• Personality Testing: Personality tests are used to understand what your strengths, weaknesses, needs, and motivations are. This test can provide insightful information in terms of home, school, and work interpersonal challenges.
• IQ Testing: This type of testing involved a variety of different standardized tests that will help determine your reasoning abilities as well as your short- and long-term memory.
• ADHD Testing: Parents, teachers, and the child will go through assessments and questionnaires to help the psychologist determine an accurate diagnosis of ADHD.

Psychological testing can prove to be beneficial for many reasons. If you would like to schedule a psych testing appointment for you or your child, just reach out to our office. We’ll get you a session when it best fits your schedule.

Should I Consider Speaking With a Licensed Psychiatrist at Thriveworks Counseling?

The connection between the body and the mind is incredibly strong. As a result, many mental health disorders call for a psychiatric evaluation of both the mental and physical aspects.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors with expertise in diagnosing and treating mental health issues. They can perform thorough medical evaluations, administer various types of therapy, and can even prescribe medication. Psychiatrists can also teach their clients coping skills and tips for overcoming harmful behaviors.
