Here are reputable telehealth options that commonly provide BOTH psychiatry (medication management) and therapy. Availability, pricing, and which medications they will prescribe vary by state and clinician, so check each service for current details and whether they accept your insurance.
- Brightside — specializes in evidence‑based treatment for depression and anxiety with combined medication management and therapy programs; good if you want integrated care and measurement‑based tracking.
- Talkspace — offers talk therapy plus an option for psychiatric medication management; convenient if you prefer a single app for messaging/video therapy and psychiatry.
- Teladoc (Teladoc Mental Health) — large national telehealth platform that provides both therapy and psychiatry; good network size and insurance integration (including many Medicare/Medicaid plans via partnerships).
- Doctor On Demand (Included Health/Doctor On Demand) — provides licensed therapists and psychiatrists for ongoing care; known for same‑day appointments and broad insurance participation.
- Amwell — national telehealth company offering licensed therapists and psychiatrists; often available through insurance and employer plans.
- PlushCare — offers primary care plus mental‑health services (therapists and psychiatric clinicians) and often coordinates care across services; convenient if you also want general tele‑health.
- Headway — a marketplace that connects you with credentialed therapists and psychiatrists (often those who accept insurance); useful if you want an insurance‑covered provider and help with matching/booking.
- Lyra Health — employer‑sponsored platform with both therapy and psychiatry/medication management, known for high‑quality matching and employer benefits. (Usually available if your employer offers it.)
- Spring Health — another employer benefit platform that provides therapy and psychiatric medication management with strong care coordination. (Employer offering only.)
Notes and caveats:
- BetterHelp is therapy‑only (no prescribing), so don’t choose it if you need medication management.
- Many telepsychiatry services will not prescribe certain controlled substances (e.g., stimulants) via telemedicine or may require an in‑person evaluation first.
- Services differ in whether your therapist and prescriber are on the same care team and how well they coordinate — ask when signing up if you want tightly integrated care.
- Cost and insurance acceptance vary widely; check whether the service accepts your plan or offers sliding scale/self‑pay rates.
If you tell me your state, whether you have insurance, and whether you prefer messaging vs video or an employer plan, I can narrow this list to the best options for you.
