Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication plans. Therapists primarily provide talk therapy to help you work through challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Their titles may include Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), or psychologist.

Some people benefit from seeing both a psychiatrist for medication management and a therapist for talk therapy. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) are another option — they can also prescribe and manage medication. On Headway, you can find both psychiatrists and therapists to match your needs.

Whether you need a referral depends on your insurance plan. Some plans, particularly HMO plans, may require a referral from a primary care provider before you can see a psychiatrist. PPO and EPO plans more commonly allow you to self-refer.

You can check your plan's referral requirements by reviewing your explanation of benefits (EOB), calling your insurance company, or entering your insurance details on Headway to see available providers and coverage information.
