Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication plans. Therapists provide talk therapy to help you work through mental health challenges, and their titles may include licensed professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, or psychologist. Some people see both a psychiatrist for medication and a therapist for talk therapy. On Headway, you can find both types of providers and book directly with either.
