Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. Therapists provide talk therapy to help you work through emotional and behavioral challenges, but most cannot prescribe medication. Some people see both a psychiatrist for medication management and a therapist for ongoing talk therapy. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists covered by your insurance.

Many insurance plans allow you to see a psychiatrist without a referral, but some plans — particularly HMO plans — may require one from a primary care provider. Check your specific plan details or enter your insurance information on Headway to confirm your coverage. If your plan does require a referral, your primary care provider can help you get one.
