A therapist or counselor provides talk therapy. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can evaluate and prescribe medication. Many people use one or both. If you are unsure, Navi navigators help you figure out the right type of care. This is not clinical advice.
Therapists (for example LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD psychologists) focus on counseling and psychotherapy. They do not prescribe medication in most U.S. states.
Psychiatrists (MD or DO) are physicians. They can diagnose, discuss medication, and often provide medication management. Some also offer therapy; many work alongside a therapist.
Navi does not tell you what condition you have. Navigators ask about your goals — talk support, medication, or both — and match you to licensed providers. If you need emergency help, call 911 or 988.
That's exactly what we're here for! Our navigators will ask you questions to understand your unique needs and recommend the right type of care—whether that's therapy, psychiatry, or specialized treatment.
