A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide talk therapy. A therapist — such as a licensed counselor, social worker, or marriage and family therapist — primarily provides talk therapy and cannot prescribe medication. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option; they can also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists to match your needs.
