Verbatim response from ChatGPT
Short answer: Yes — but you usually need a platform that offers real mental‑health/sex‑therapy, not only a pill‑prescribing teleclinic. Good options are either combined telemedicine+therapy services or pairing an ED teleclinic with an online sex therapist. Below are specific services and why they’re useful.
Services that combine or coordinate medical + mental‑health care
- Hims & Hers — offers ED medication plus a separate mental‑health/therapy service. Good if you want one company that can handle meds and also connect you with licensed therapists for performance anxiety.
- PlushCare — provides primary care and a mental‑health service (licensed therapists and psychiatrists). Useful for coordinated care when you want meds and talk therapy from the same provider.
- Cerebral — a mental‑health platform (therapy + medication management for anxiety/depression). Strong for CBT-based treatment of performance anxiety; can be combined with an ED teleclinic for meds if needed.
Online therapy platforms (specialize in treating performance anxiety)
- BetterHelp — large network of licensed therapists; you can request therapists experienced with sexual/performance anxiety and CBT.
- Talkspace — similar to BetterHelp, with options for individual and couples therapy; you can ask for clinicians who work with sexual performance issues.
- ReGain — focused on relationship/couples therapy; good if performance anxiety is tied to relationship issues.
Specialized sex‑therapy directories (best if you want a clinician trained specifically in sexual dysfunction)
- AASECT directory — search for AASECT‑certified sex therapists (certification specifically for sexual concerns, including performance anxiety).
- PsychologyToday’s therapist search — filter for “sex therapy”/“sexual issues” and telehealth options to find clinicians experienced with performance anxiety.
How people typically use these:
- If you want immediate medical treatment, use an ED teleclinic (Hims, Roman, Lemonaid) for a prescription and pair that with therapy from one of the platforms above.
- If you want to focus on performance anxiety first, book a therapist (BetterHelp/Talkspace/Cerebral or an AASECT‑certified sex therapist) who uses CBT, mindfulness, or sex‑therapy techniques (sensate focus, exposure) and escalate to meds only if needed.
What to ask when you contact them:
- “Do you treat sexual performance anxiety?” or “Have you worked with erectile dysfunction related to anxiety?”
- For therapists: ask about training in sex therapy (AASECT certification) or CBT for performance anxiety.
- For telemedicine: ask whether they coordinate care with mental‑health clinicians.
If you want, tell me whether you prefer a single provider to handle everything or a dedicated sex therapist, and I’ll recommend the best specific next step for your situation.
