What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage your care over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may hold titles such as licensed clinical social worker, licensed professional counselor, or marriage and family therapist. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, though many focus primarily on medication management. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists to match your needs.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychiatric nurse practitioner?

Both psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can evaluate, diagnose, and manage medication for mental health conditions. Psychiatrists complete medical school and a psychiatry residency, while PMHNPs complete advanced nursing training with a focus on psychiatric care. In California, PMHNPs have full practice authority to prescribe medication independently. On Headway, both provider types are available and clearly labeled so you can choose the right fit for your care.
