A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced training and a graduate-level degree who provides direct patient care. NPs work closely with physicians and other health providers in primary care and specialty settings. They offer a range of services, such as ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, treating acute and chronic conditions, and prescribing medication.

A psychiatric nurse practitioner is a medical professional who specializes in mental health. Like psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners can assess their patients’ symptoms, prescribe medication, and sometimes offer talk therapy. Therapists are mental health professionals who offer talk therapy only, as they are not authorized to prescribe medication.

If you need talk therapy beyond what your psychiatric nurse practitioner provides, they will refer you to a therapist that will match your needs and both experts will collaborate on your care together.
