A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. A therapist provides talk therapy for mental health concerns and may hold a license such as LPC, LCSW, or LMFT. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another type of provider who can prescribe and manage medication. On Headway, you can find both therapists and prescribers to match the type of care you need.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans allow you to book directly with a psychiatrist, while others may require a referral from a primary care provider. Check your plan details or contact your insurance company to confirm whether a referral is needed before scheduling your first appointment.
