A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and sometimes provide talk therapy. A therapist — such as a licensed counselor, social worker, or psychologist — provides talk therapy and cannot prescribe medication. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another type of provider who can prescribe and manage 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.

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.
