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 Virginia Beach
Finding psychiatrists in Virginia Beach starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of ongoing care. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with people on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and stress. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both.
Virginia Beach has fewer local psychiatry options than larger metro areas, so virtual appointments can make it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits your schedule and needs. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist offers in-person or virtual care, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles can help you understand each psychiatrist’s specialties, care style, and session structure before you book.
Psychiatric care in Virginia Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before booking, then review profiles 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.
