A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through mental health challenges, but typically cannot prescribe medication. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists. If you're unsure which type of provider is right for you, a qualified healthcare professional can help you discuss available care options and decide what may be appropriate for your needs.
