Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Mateo
Finding psychiatrists in San Mateo starts with knowing what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Some people look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on the kind of support you want. Look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address.
In a smaller city like San Mateo, local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets, so virtual psychiatry can help expand your search. You may also want to consider whether a psychiatrist offers appointment times that fit your schedule, is accepting new patients, or provides a free phone consultation. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each psychiatrist’s style, areas of focus, and what to expect in your first appointment.
Psychiatric care in San Mateo can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare virtual and in-person options, review bios, and book directly when you find a psychiatrist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
