Our psychiatrists will create a tailored treatment plan to help you manage your symptoms and support recovery.
Anxiety
Severe anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks and extreme worry can interfere with your ability to function. Anxiety treatment can include therapy and medication.

Your psychiatrist will develop a treatment plan allowing you to regain control over your anxiety and improve your well-being.

ADHD symptoms can create unique challenges for individuals. Treatment for ADHD can include evidence-based therapies and, if necessary, medication. We develop a treatment plan based on your needs to help you manage ADHD symptoms and develop healthy coping strategies to live a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Treatment for OCD can help to reduce the impact it has on your daily life and manage your symptoms. Psychiatric treatment for OCD can include medications and therapy, specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist in LA?
While psychiatrists and therapists support and treat mental health conditions, they help in different ways. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication to treat various mental health conditions. A therapist is not a medical doctor, so they can’t prescribe medications. Instead, a therapist will use talking therapies to support mental health and promote well-being.
If you’re experiencing debilitating mental health symptoms that affect your day-to-day living, you may need to see a psychiatrist. If you’re not sure if you need to see a psychiatrist or therapist, contact Thriving Center of Psychology, and we can help.
What can I expect from my session with a psychiatrist in LA? In your first session with a psychiatrist, you will discuss your symptoms, medical history, medications, and any family mental health issues. Your psychiatrist will want to know what you’re struggling with and what brings you to the appointment.
