We have different types of providers to best meet your needs for medications or therapy.

Medication management: If you are looking for medication evaluation or help with ongoing medication management, please schedule a visit with a psychiatrist (MD/DO). Psychiatrists are medical doctors who do not provide talk therapy on our platform.

Our board-certified psychiatrists prescribe standard medications for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and a variety of other mental health diagnoses. You may see the full list of medications here: View the current list of DEA-controlled substances.

Therapy: If you are looking for talk therapy (such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), etc.) and counseling (such as relationship issues, anger management, etc.), please schedule a visit with a therapist.
