Online Psychiatry Costs Without Insurance
Online psychiatry typically costs $100–$400+ per session without insurance, depending on the service and appointment type.

|---|---|---|
| Talkiatry | ~$299 | ~$109 |
| Cerebral | ~$295/month (subscription) | included |
| Brightside | ~$95–$299/month | included |
| Teladoc | ~$299 | ~$119 |

Tips to Reduce Costs
- Cerebral and Brightside offer subscription models that can be more affordable for ongoing care
- GoodRx can significantly reduce medication costs separately
- Open Path Collective offers reduced-fee options
- Ask about sliding scale fees directly with providers
- Check if your employer offers an EAP (Employee Assistance Program)
What to Expect
- Initial evaluations are always more expensive
- Medication management follow-ups are shorter and cheaper
- Therapy sessions are priced separately from psychiatry
Prices change frequently, so I'd recommend checking each service's current website for the most accurate pricing.
