Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Clinical Psychology care with Dr. Glezen:
- What is the main difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?
- A psychologist, with a PhD or PsyD, specializes in psychotherapy and psychological testing. A psychiatrist, with an MD or DO, is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. They often work together, with the psychologist providing therapy and the psychiatrist managing medication.
- What happens in a first therapy session?
- The first session is an intake to learn about your concerns, history, and goals. It's also a chance to get to know Dr. Glezen and see if you feel comfortable working together. This is a conversation, not an interrogation, and a chance for both of you to determine if therapy is the right fit.
- What is EMDR therapy?
- EMDR is a specialized therapy that helps people heal from trauma and difficult life events. It uses bilateral stimulation, like eye movements or tapping, to help the brain process these memories and reduce their emotional impact.
- What is psychological testing used for?
- Psychological testing uses a series of standardized tests and interviews to gain a deeper understanding of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. This can help clarify a complex diagnosis or identify conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, or autism spectrum disorder. Dr. Glezen will discuss the specific reasons for testing with you.
- Do I have to have a serious mental illness to see a psychologist?
- No. While psychologists treat serious mental illnesses, they also help people with everyday challenges like stress management, grief, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions such as career changes or divorce.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It's a goal-oriented approach where patients learn practical skills to manage their symptoms and problems, often used for anxiety and depression.
- My primary doctor suggested I might have anxiety. Can a psychologist confirm this?
- Yes. A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is a core expertise of a clinical psychologist. Dr. Glezen will use interviews and potentially questionnaires to accurately diagnose an anxiety disorder and develop a non-medication treatment plan focused on therapy and coping skills.
- Do you offer couples or family therapy?
- Yes, Dr. Glezen offers couples and family therapy. These therapies focus on improving communication and resolving conflicts within relationships. Dr. Glezen helps all parties understand each other better and develop healthier ways of interacting to strengthen their family or partnership.
