Here are some reliable options:

- Talkiatry – Accepts most major insurance, has licensed psychiatrists (not just therapists), and can prescribe medication. Good for ongoing care.
- Cerebral – Focuses on conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Offers medication management plans.
- Done – Specializes specifically in ADHD evaluation and treatment.
- Brightside – Strong focus on depression and anxiety, combines therapy and medication.
General Telehealth Platforms with Psychiatry
- Teladoc – Large, established platform that takes many insurance plans
- MDLive – Similar to Teladoc, widely accepted by insurers
- Sesame – Good for paying out of pocket at lower costs
How the Process Typically Works
- Sign up and complete an intake questionnaire

- Video visit with a psychiatrist
- Prescription sent to your pharmacy if appropriate
Things to Know
