Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Clinical Psychology care with Colleen PSY.D:
- What is the main difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?
- A psychologist, like Dr. Colleen, specializes in psychotherapy and psychological testing. A psychiatrist, on the other hand, is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. While their approaches differ, they often collaborate, 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 for us to connect and for you to see if Dr. Colleen is the right fit for you. This is a two-way conversation, not an interrogation.
- 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 assessment can help clarify a complex diagnosis or identify conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, or autism spectrum disorder.
- 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 traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.
- 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. Colleen PSY.D. 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.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
- 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.
- Do I have to have a serious mental illness to see a psychologist?
- No. While psychologists treat mental illnesses, they also help people with everyday challenges like stress management, grief, relationship issues, and navigating life transitions like career changes or divorce.
- Do you offer couples or family therapy?
- Yes, we offer couples and family therapy. These therapies focus on improving communication and resolving conflicts within relationships. Dr. Colleen PSY.D. helps all parties understand each other better and develop healthier ways of interacting to strengthen their family or partnership.
