Here are answers to some common questions about Clinical Psychology care with Dr. Seth PSY:
- What is the difference between a Clinical Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?
- Dr. Seth PSY, a clinical psychologist, has a doctorate and specializes in talk therapy and psychological testing. Unlike psychiatrists, who are medical doctors and can prescribe medication, Dr. Seth PSY does not prescribe medication. Both are important members of your care team, offering different but complementary expertise.
- I'm not 'mentally ill,' so why would I see a psychologist?
- Dr. Seth PSY's practice helps older adults address a wide range of life challenges, not just severe mental illness. Many seniors seek support for navigating new medical diagnoses, retirement adjustments, grief, or improving communication with family. Psychology provides valuable tools and strategies to improve well-being and overall quality of life.
- What if I'm having a mental health crisis?
- If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately. Outpatient therapy is not for immediate emergencies. Going to the nearest emergency room is also a good option if you feel you may be a danger to yourself or others. Getting immediate help in a crisis is the most important first step.
- How can talking about my problems help with my chronic illness or pain?
- Talking about your problems can significantly improve your overall well-being, including how you experience chronic illness or pain. While therapy can't cure a medical condition, it can dramatically change how you cope with it by teaching techniques like CBT to manage pain, stress, and related emotions. Dr. Seth PSY can help you develop these coping strategies.
- What is a neuropsychological evaluation?
- A neuropsychological evaluation is like a check-up for your brain's thinking skills. It involves a series of puzzles, questions, and tasks to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving. This helps understand cognitive changes, identify strengths and weaknesses, and potentially diagnose conditions like dementia, providing clarity for families.
- Can therapy really help with the stress of being a caregiver?
- Absolutely. Caregiving is incredibly demanding, and Dr. Seth PSY can provide a confidential space to process the complex emotions involved, such as guilt, frustration, and sadness. Therapy can help you learn practical coping skills, manage stress, prevent burnout, and find better ways to care for both your loved one and yourself.
- What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based therapy that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors contributing to depression or anxiety. It teaches you to notice negative thought cycles and reframe them in a more positive, realistic way, and is a proven effective approach.
- It's been over a year since my spouse passed, and I still feel stuck. Can psychology help with grief?
- Grief has no set timeline, and feeling stuck is a common experience after loss. Grief counseling provides a supportive space to honor your loved one's memory while processing complex emotions. Dr. Seth PSY can help you carry your spouse's memory forward and rediscover purpose and connection.
