I'm Paula McKnight-Leggette, a psychiatric nurse practitioner serving patients across South Carolina through telehealth.

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 Mount Pleasant
Finding psychiatrists in Mount Pleasant starts with understanding the type of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and related support. If you are looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, reviewing each clinician’s listed specialties can help you find a closer match. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both.
Mount Pleasant has a smaller local market than nearby Charleston, so local appointment options may be more limited. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while still giving you access to licensed South Carolina psychiatrists who fit your schedule. Psychiatric care often involves shorter, less frequent medication management appointments than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare Mount Pleasant psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and each bio’s notes on approach, specialties, and communication style.
Psychiatric care in Mount Pleasant can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can review profiles, check estimated costs, compare virtual and in-person options, and book 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.
