What is the difference between a therapist, counselor, and psychiatrist?

Therapists and counselors are general terms for licensed professionals who provide talk therapy for mental health concerns. Their specific titles — such as LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT — reflect differences in training and licensure. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide therapy. On Headway, you can find both therapists and psychiatrists and filter by provider type based on the kind of care you're looking for.
