Here are several reputable online services that provide both therapy and psychiatric medication management, plus a short note on why each might fit different needs:
-
Talkspace — Offers licensed therapists plus psychiatric medication management; popular for flexible messaging + video therapy and accepts some insurance plans. Good if you want a convenient, text-friendly option with med management available.
-
Brightside Health — Focuses on evidence-based treatment for anxiety/depression with integrated therapy and psychiatry (medication management) and a streamlined intake process. Good if you want condition-specific, protocol-driven care.
-
Cerebral — Provides therapy and ongoing medication management through a care-team model (therapists, prescribers). Often fast access and subscription pricing; check local availability. Good if you want coordinated, subscription-based care.
-
Teladoc Health (including psychiatry through Teladoc/Livongo integrations) — Large telehealth company that connects you with board-certified psychiatrists and therapists; often covered by many insurers and employer plans. Good if you want broad insurance acceptance and established telemedicine infrastructure.
-
Amwell — Telehealth platform with licensed therapists and psychiatrists; works with many insurers and health systems. Good if you prefer an insurer-friendly option or want to bundle with other telehealth services.
-
Doctor On Demand (Now part of Included Health in some places) — Offers psychiatrists and licensed therapists via video, widely used and often covered by employer/insurer networks. Good if you want reputable clinicians and insurer/employee plan integration.
-
Lyra Health / Spring Health — These are employer-sponsored mental health platforms that provide both therapy and psychiatry for employees enrolled by their employer. Good if your workplace offers them (often high-quality clinician networks and navigation support).
Things to check before you sign up
- State availability and licensure (psychiatrists must be licensed in your state).
- Whether they prescribe controlled substances (some meds like stimulants may require in‑person evaluation or have restrictions).
- If care is coordinated (same platform/team handles both therapy and med management).
- Cost and insurance coverage (many platforms accept insurance or offer sliding/subscription pricing).
- Wait time for an initial psychiatry appointment and crisis/emergency procedures.
If you tell me your state (or whether you’ll use insurance or self-pay) and whether your priorities are speed, cost, continuity with one provider, or texting vs video visits, I can narrow this list to the best fit and link you to signup pages.
