Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide therapy. Therapists primarily provide talk therapy and may hold titles like Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or Marriage and Family Therapist. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists. If you're looking for medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) may be the right fit. If you're focused on talk therapy, a therapist may be a better match.
