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 Durham
Finding the right psychiatrist in Durham starts with understanding the kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management may include an initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and adjustments guided by your clinician. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or related concerns, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach before booking.
In a mid-sized city like Durham, your search may include psychiatrists near Duke University, downtown, Old West Durham, Lakewood, and other nearby areas. Virtual appointments can also make it easier to find a psychiatrist whose availability fits your schedule. Psychiatry visits, especially medication management appointments, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Provider bios can help you compare session format, scheduling options, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Durham can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, may accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated costs before you book, review profiles, and schedule directly when you’re ready.
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.
