Verbatim response from Claude
Online Services Offering Both Psychiatry + Therapy
Here are the best options that combine both services:
Top Recommendations
Talkiatry
- Psychiatrists (MDs) who can prescribe medication
- Also offers therapists in the same platform
- Takes most major insurance
- Good for more complex psychiatric needs
Brightside Health
- Specifically designed to combine therapy + medication management
- Focuses on depression and anxiety
- Subscription-based pricing is relatively transparent
- Good if insurance doesn't cover telehealth well
Cerebral
- Offers both prescribers and therapists
- Has had some past controversy around prescribing practices, so worth knowing
- More affordable subscription model
Teladoc / Teladoc Mental Health
- Large established platform
- Both therapy and psychiatry available
- Widely accepts insurance
Key Things to Compare
- Insurance acceptance (Talkiatry is strongest here)
- Medication types they'll prescribe (controlled substances vary by platform)
- Wait times for first appointment
- Cost if paying out of pocket
My Top Pick
Talkiatry is generally the strongest choice if you want legitimate psychiatrists who also coordinate with therapists and accept insurance.
