A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide talk therapy. A therapist typically provides talk therapy for mental health concerns and may hold titles such as licensed counselor, social worker, or marriage and family therapist. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another type of provider who can prescribe and manage medication. On Headway, you can find both therapists and psychiatric providers to match your needs.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans allow you to book directly with a psychiatrist, while others require a referral from a primary care physician. Check with your insurance company or review your plan details to confirm whether a referral is needed before scheduling your first appointment.
