What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may hold titles like licensed professional counselor, licensed clinical social worker, or psychologist. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option — they can also diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. Some people see both a prescribing provider and a therapist at the same time. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists to match your needs.

Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist in Colorado Springs?

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans allow you to see a psychiatrist directly, while others may require a referral from a primary care provider. Check your plan details or call the number on your insurance card to confirm. If a referral is required, your primary care provider can help connect you with the right type of specialist.

Giovanna Skylar

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Colorado Springs, CO

I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.

I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.
