Lifebulb Therapists and Counselors work closely with Licensed Psychiatrists, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners, and medication managers in our community who can supplement our clients’ talk therapy services when necessary.
Find a Therapist 855-722-4422When it comes to treating mental health issues, talk therapy is often enough to provide symptom relief, get to the root of a mental health challenge, and promote long-term healing and growth. However, some people benefit from seeing a mental health Psychiatrist to receive medication. Lifebulb does not employ any Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP’s), but we do work closely with them to provide a holistic approach to therapy. Most medication managers require their clients to participate in ongoing therapy services to serve their needs best. If you’re looking for medication management services, but don’t have a current mental healthcare therapist or counselor, we can help!

There’s no shame in taking medication to aid in your mental health journey.
Talk therapy has proven highly effective against many mental health concerns, but medication is also a valuable resource for those struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and more. A good mental health psychiatrist will prescribe you medication that fits your needs, taking into account individual factors such as gender, age, symptoms, history, and mental health goals
Women
It can be hard to feel heard when you’re a woman seeking mental health medication. Having a female psychiatrist near you who understands your struggles can help. Women may deal with complex mental health issues linked to physical health, life changes, and more.
Men
Mental health psychiatry for men can help you feel better sooner. Each one of us is a unique individual who will need a unique approach. Finding a low-cost psychiatrist near you and a talk therapist is a great way to ensure your needs are being met.
Children
When children experience mental health difficulties, they need a unique approach. Because their bodies and brains are still growing, they can’t always receive the same medication as adults. What’s more, they will need to be monitored more closely as they outgrow old medication.
Teenagers
A teenager’s growing mind and brain can make medication management difficult. Having a good psychiatrist near you will ensure you’re receiving the best and most effective treatment. The onset of puberty can change the effect mental health mediation has on the body, so effective medication management is important.
Both Psychiatrists and Psychologists can work in the mental health field. Both receive many years of training and education and must have an up-to-date license. However, only a Psychiatrist can prescribe and manage medication. A Psychologist may work with a client through other means of treatment, such as talk therapy, to promote healing and growth. If you are seeing a Psychiatrist for mental health medication, it is strongly recommended you also see a Psychologist, therapist, or counselor for a comprehensive approach to your well-being.
Yes, the primary job of a mental health Psychiatrist is to prescribe medication. Psychiatrists have different education requirements than therapists including a more robust study of medication’s effect on the human brain and body. A Psychiatrist should also provide medication management, meaning they work closely with their clients to adjust medication as needed.
Yes, a Psychiatrist can diagnose mental health disorders such as ADHD, Bipolar, Major Depression, General Anxiety Disorder, and many more. A therapist, psychologist, and counselor can also diagnose mental health disorders. If you are interested in receiving an official mental health diagnosis, reach out to our team.
Not everyone who struggles with their mental health will need to see a Psychiatrist. Most people receive the help they need from talk therapy alone. However, when a mental health disorder’s main cause is in the brain chemistry or human biology, medication can be helpful in symptom relief. Combined with talk therapy, you can find long-lasting healing.
Lifebulb’s talk therapy is accessible to everyone. We accept most major insurance plans and offer an affordable self-pay option.

No, Lifebulb does not employ a Psychiatrist. However, we do work closely with Psychiatrists near you to ensure you receive the best mental health care.
Yes. Lifebulb will work with your Psychiatrist to manage medication, address symptoms, and promote long-term healing and recovery. If you need help finding a Psychiatrist, connect with one of our therapists and they can provide a referral.
A Psychiatrist diagnoses and treats mental health disorders through medication management. Unlike a therapist, counselor, or psychologist, a Psychiatrist usually does not provide talk therapy or other sorts of therapy other than medication, which is why it’s important to be connected with a therapist who you can see as often as you need.
Whether a psychiatrist and their medication management will be helpful for you is a case-by-case basis. Some people benefit greatly from mental health Psychiatry, and others find they don’t need it. Connect with one of our therapists to discuss this further. We can provide psychiatrist referrals and get you set up with the right psychiatrist for your needs.
