Yes, many psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners on Headway offer virtual appointments.

When you browse providers on Headway, you can see whether they offer virtual sessions, in-person sessions, or both.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, while a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice nurse with specialized training in psychiatric care. Both can prescribe and manage medication. PMHNPs may have more availability and can be a great option if you're looking for psychiatric care with shorter wait times. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and PMHNPs in Vermont.

Whether you need a referral depends on your insurance plan. Some plans, particularly HMOs, may require a referral from a primary care provider before you can see a psychiatrist. PPO plans often allow you to book directly with a specialist. Check with your insurance company or review your plan details to confirm what's required before scheduling your first appointment.
