Online Services Offering Both Psychiatry + Therapy
Here are the best options that combine both services:
Top Recommendations
Talkiatry
- Psychiatrists (not just NPs) plus therapists
- Accepts most major insurance
- Good for more complex medication needs
Brightside Health
- Specializes in anxiety and depression
- Flat monthly pricing (~$95-$349/month depending on services)
- Psychiatry and therapy coordinated together
Cerebral
- Offers both therapy and prescribing
- Has faced some past regulatory scrutiny, so worth researching current status
- More affordable tiers available
Monument (alcohol use specifically)
- Good if substance use is part of the picture
Things to Compare Before Choosing
- Insurance acceptance – Talkiatry is strongest here
- Prescriber credentials – MD/DO vs. nurse practitioner matters for some conditions
- Controlled substances – Policies vary significantly
- Turnaround time – Some have faster first appointments than others
Honest Caveat
If you have a serious or complex condition, starting with your primary care doctor for a referral to in-person psychiatry may give you better coordinated care than any online platform.
