A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. A therapist provides talk therapy for mental health concerns but cannot prescribe medication. Therapist titles vary based on training and may include licensed counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists. Some people see both a psychiatrist for medication management and a therapist for ongoing talk therapy. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option — they can also prescribe and manage medication. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists.

Many insurance plans allow you to see a psychiatrist directly, but some plans — particularly HMOs — may require a referral from your primary care provider. Check with your insurance company to confirm whether your plan requires a referral before booking. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information and browse available psychiatrists in your area right away.
