Here are reputable online services that offer both therapy and psychiatry/medication management, with a short note on why you might pick each one. Note that availability, pricing, and controlled‑substance prescribing vary by state and by platform, so check policies before signing up.
-
Talkspace — integrated therapy plus psychiatric medication management; convenient messaging + video therapy and often used for ongoing antidepressant/anxiety medication management. Good if you want flexible messaging-based therapy plus access to psychiatrists.
-
Teladoc Health / MDLIVE — large telehealth network that provides therapists and board‑certified psychiatrists; widely in‑network with many insurers and available across many states. Good if you want broad insurance coverage and coordinated care.
-
Doctor On Demand (part of Included Health/Telefonica deals at times) — offers video visits with therapists and psychiatrists and often works with major insurers. Good for traditional live‑video visits and medication management.
-
Brightside Health — specializes in anxiety and depression with combined medication management and therapy plans and structured, measurement‑based care. Good if you want a treatment plan with regular outcome tracking.
-
Mindpath Health (telepsychiatry clinics) — national network of psychiatrists and therapists offering coordinated care and medication management via telehealth. Good if you want a clinic‑style approach with psychiatric follow‑ups.
-
Spring Health or Lyra Health — employer‑sponsored mental‑health platforms that combine therapy and psychiatry with fast access and employer coverage (only if your employer offers them). Good if you have access through work and want low/no‑cost options.
-
Zocdoc — not a provider itself but a marketplace to find local or telehealth clinicians; you can search for clinicians who provide both psychotherapy and psychiatric prescribing or coordinate care between therapists and psychiatrists.
Important things to check before you sign up
- Whether the platform prescribes controlled substances (stimulants) — many will not or have stricter rules.
- Whether therapy and psychiatry are part of the same care team (better coordination) or separate contractors.
- Insurance coverage / in‑network providers and out‑of‑pocket cost.
- State licensure for prescribers (they must be licensed in your state).
- Emergency policy — these services don’t provide crisis care (call local emergency services or a crisis line for urgent situations).
If you want, tell me your state, whether you have insurance (and carrier), and whether you need stimulants or other controlled meds — I can narrow these to the best matches and check typical wait times/costs.
