Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide talk therapy. Therapists — including licensed counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists — provide talk therapy but cannot prescribe medication. If you think you may need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit. On Headway, you can find both therapists and prescribers to match your needs.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs or DOs) who complete medical school and a residency in psychiatry. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are advanced practice registered nurses with specialized graduate training in psychiatric care. Both can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide certain types of therapy. On Headway, your search results include both psychiatrists and PMHNPs, so you can review each provider's credentials and background in their bio.
