What is a Clinical Psychologist, and how can they help me?

A clinical psychologist is a doctoral-level expert in mental and emotional health. They provide evidence-based therapy to help you develop coping strategies, build resilience, and prevent challenges from becoming crises. They can help you address a wide range of concerns and improve your overall well-being.

What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?

Psychologists, with PhDs or PsyDs, specialize in psychotherapy and psychological testing. Psychiatrists, with MDs or DOs, are medical doctors who can prescribe medication and also provide therapy. They often collaborate as part of a comprehensive treatment team.

Do I need to have a serious mental illness to see a psychologist?

No. Seeing a psychologist like Dr. Gamble is beneficial for everyone, not just those with serious mental illness. Therapy can help manage everyday stress, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, and build skills to prevent more serious issues from developing.

Can therapy help me improve my sleep?

Yes, therapy can help improve sleep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a highly effective, drug-free treatment for chronic insomnia. Dr. Gamble can teach you strategies to restructure your sleep habits and challenge anxious thoughts that prevent restful sleep.

What is trauma-focused therapy like EMDR?

What is the difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack?

A panic attack is a sudden, intense surge of fear with physical symptoms, often unexpected. Anxiety attacks, in contrast, are typically a gradual build-up of worry related to a specific stressor, and usually less intense.
