Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide talk therapy. Therapists provide talk therapy for mental health concerns and may hold titles like licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), or marriage and family therapist (MFT). Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option — they can also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. On Headway, you can find both therapists and prescribing providers to match your needs.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans allow you to schedule 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 booking.
