Here are several reputable telehealth services that combine psychiatry (medication management) and ongoing therapy — with a short note about why you might choose each. Availability, pricing, and whether controlled medications (e.g., stimulants) can be prescribed vary by state and by service, so check specifics for your state and insurance.
-
Brightside Health — specializes in anxiety/depression care with an integrated model: measurement‑based psychiatry plus matched therapists and coordinated care plans. Good if you want a structured program focused on evidence‑based treatments.
-
Talkspace — offers licensed therapists plus psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Flexible messaging + live sessions; works with some insurance and employer plans.
-
Teladoc Health (including BetterHelp/MDLive offerings) — large national telehealth provider that can connect you to both therapists (BetterHelp) and psychiatrists through Teladoc/MDLive networks. Useful if you want broad coverage and insurer/employer integration.
-
Amwell — national telehealth platform that provides psychiatry visits and therapy, often through insurers and health plans. Good if you need visits covered by insurance or want direct billing.
-
Doctor On Demand (Often part of Included Health/Employer plans) — provides live psychiatry and therapy sessions, commonly available through employers and insurers; good for same‑day appointments in many areas.
-
Spring Health — employer‑facing mental health benefit that coordinates assessment, therapy, and medication management with high provider quality controls. Pick this if you have it through your workplace.
-
Lyra Health — another employer‑based platform with curated therapists and psychiatrists and emphasis on evidence‑based care. Good option when available as an employee benefit.
-
SonderMind — primarily therapy but in many markets coordinates psychiatric medication management as part of integrated care and helps with in‑network billing. Good if you want a strong therapist match plus local/telepsychiatry options.
Quick tips for choosing:
- Verify psychiatry availability and whether they prescribe controlled substances (rules vary by state and medication).
- Check whether your insurance or employer covers the service (or if they offer sliding scale).
- Decide whether you prefer messaging-based care, scheduled video visits, or a team-based/coordinated program.
- Wait times and clinician experience vary — read recent user reviews and ask about provider qualifications.
