Alexandria Counseling, Psychiatry—Mental Health Care in Franconia

Life can be hard to understand sometimes. As humans, we are always trying to make sense of what is going on around us, but that is typically quite a difficult task. If your life is not making sense to you lately, the team here at Thriveworks Alexandria would be happy to help.

The need for therapy can often arise simply out of not taking enough time each day for yourself. Between the responsibilities you have at work and those you have at home, there might not be time for you to “get away” and think about what it is that you need to do for yourself.

Therapy is the perfect opportunity to do so. You will have the opportunity to sit down with a qualified and experienced counselor or therapist to discuss things that are important to you. If you have been searching for counseling in Alexandria, we are here to help.

How Can Therapy or Counseling Help Me?

There is an incredibly long list of challenges that can be dealt with using counseling, therapy, and/or life coaching. Among the many points on that list are:

• Lack of professional motivation
• Inability to maintain healthy personal relationships

• Loss of joy in day to day life

Would I Benefit From Seeing a Psychiatrist?

Psychiatry looks at mental and emotional disorders from a medical standpoint. Psychiatrists have received a medical degree and gone on to work for years in a psychiatric residency. This means they are highly qualified to diagnose a wide variety of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.

Diagnosis of mental disorders sometimes requires psychological testing and an examination of physical symptoms. Psychiatrists are qualified to carry out both activities and can also prescribe medications. They also are trained to conduct psychotherapy, which involves discussing a client’s moods, thoughts, and behaviors. Psychiatrists can use this information to help clients identify their impact on daily life and learn effective coping strategies.

If you think you would benefit from speaking with a psychiatrist, then consider scheduling an online appointment with a qualified Thriveworks psychiatrist today.
