I can help — quick question first: what country (and if US, which state) are you in, and do you have insurance or employer coverage? Availability, prescribing rules, and price vary a lot by location.
If you’re in the United States, these national telehealth services commonly offer both therapy and psychiatric medication management (brief note after each):
- Talkspace — offers licensed therapists plus psychiatry/medication management; good if you want flexible messaging-based therapy plus scheduled med visits.
- Cerebral — provides matched therapy and medication management with a subscription model (focused on depression/anxiety); check current availability and policies for controlled meds.
- Brightside Health — focuses on evidence-based treatment for anxiety/depression with coordinated therapy + psychiatric medication care.
- PlushCare — combines primary care and behavioral health/psychiatry; accepts many major insurers and offers scheduled video visits for meds.
- Amwell / Doctor on Demand — national telehealth platforms that include licensed therapists and psychiatrists; many employer and insurance integrations.
- MDLIVE — telepsychiatry and therapy services, works with some insurers and PBMs.
- SonderMind — primarily therapy but in many markets coordinates medication management/psychiatry and works in-network with insurers.
- Ginger / Headspace Health / Lyra — mostly available through employers; offer integrated coaching, therapy, and psychiatry for employees covered by those programs.
- Zocdoc — not a provider itself but an easy way to find and book local or telepsychiatrists who also coordinate therapy.
A few quick things to consider:
- Controlled substances (e.g., stimulants) have stricter rules; some telepsychiatry services don’t prescribe them or require an in-person evaluation.
- Costs vary: some services are subscription-based (out-of-pocket), others accept insurance or are employer-covered.
- Wait times and whether you see a psychiatrist vs. a psychiatric nurse practitioner vary by service; ask about prescriber type if that matters.
- If you’re in crisis or at risk of harm, call local emergency services or crisis lines (e.g., 988 in the US).
If you tell me your country/state and whether you have insurance or employer coverage, I’ll shortlist the best matches for your situation and note expected costs and prescribing policies.
