Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MDs or DOs) who complete medical school and a residency in psychiatry. They specialize in diagnosing mental health conditions, prescribing medication, and monitoring how that medication is working over time. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are advanced practice registered nurses with specialized graduate training in psychiatric care. PMHNPs can also evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medication for mental health conditions.

Both provider types are represented on Headway. In the Waxahachie area, PMHNPs make up a large share of the available psychiatric providers. When choosing between the two, consider factors like your specific care needs, provider availability, and your insurance coverage.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans allow you to see a psychiatrist or PMHNP directly, while others require a referral from a primary care physician. Check your plan details or call your insurance company to confirm whether a referral is needed before booking.
