Both provider types are available on Headway. The right choice depends on your specific needs, preferences, and availability in your area.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans allow you to self-refer to a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, while others require a referral from a primary care provider. Check with your insurance company to confirm whether a referral is needed before booking your first appointment.
