Below are reputable online services (US-focused) that provide both medication management (psychiatry/psychiatric prescribers) and therapy. I note one common confusion: some big therapy platforms (e.g., BetterHelp) are therapy-only and do not prescribe medication.
Short list (what each is good for)
- Brightside Health — built for anxiety & depression with integrated med management + evidence-based therapy; good if you want a single, data-driven care pathway.
- Cerebral — offers therapy plus psychiatric medication management and fast access in many states; good for convenience and bundled care.
- Talkspace — offers licensed therapists plus psychiatry/medication management in many states; good if you want messaging-based therapy plus video psychiatry.
- Doctor On Demand — provides psychiatric visits and therapy with broad insurer/employer participation; good if you want clinicians who often accept insurance.
- Amwell — large telehealth marketplace with both psychiatrists and therapists; useful if you want in-network options through insurance.
- Teladoc / MDLive — national telemedicine services that include psychiatry and behavioral health; widely available through insurers and employers.
- PlushCare — primary care plus psychiatry/med-management via telehealth; good if you prefer a one-stop telemedicine option and insurance use.
- SonderMind — primarily therapy but offers coordinated psychiatry/medication management in some markets; good if you want close coordination between therapist and prescriber.
- Headway — a marketplace that helps you find therapists and psychiatrists who accept insurance; good if in-network care is important.
- Talkiatry — telepsychiatry-focused service that also coordinates therapy, emphasizing medication management and continuity.
Things to check before you sign up
- State availability: prescribers must be licensed in your state.
- Insurance vs. cash pay: some accept commercial insurance or employee benefits; others are cash-only.
- Controlled medications: rules differ for stimulants/controlled substances — some services require initial in-person visits or stricter follow-up.
- Integrated team vs separate clinicians: ask whether therapy and psychiatry coordinate (same platform/team) or are booked separately.
If you tell me your state, whether you have insurance (and which), and whether you need stimulant/ADHD meds or other controlled substances, I can narrow the best options and find ones that take your insurance or provide quick starts.
