Verbatim response from Claude
Here are some strong options that offer both therapy and psychiatry (medication management) together:
Top Recommendations
Talkiatry
- Psychiatrists can prescribe medication + coordinates with therapists
- Accepts most major insurance
- Good for more complex psychiatric needs
Brightside Health
- Specifically designed to pair therapy + medication management
- Focuses on depression and anxiety
- Subscription-based pricing, insurance accepted
Done/Cerebral
- Combines prescribing and therapy
- Note: Cerebral has faced some scrutiny over prescribing practices, so research current reviews
Teladoc (BetterHelp's parent company)
- Large network with both therapists and psychiatrists
- Strong insurance coverage
Things to Consider
- Insurance – Talkiatry and Brightside tend to have the best insurance integration
- Condition – Some platforms specialize (e.g., Brightside focuses on mood disorders)
- Controlled substances – Policies vary; if you need medications like stimulants, confirm availability upfront
- Wait times – Psychiatrists book out longer than therapists on most platforms
My top pick for most people: Talkiatry for insurance users or Brightside if you want a streamlined subscription model.
